It was my mother who asserted authority over when winter started for us on Fogo Island, N.L.
One of the defining characteristics of Fogo Island is the wind. People often buy a quilt when they are here. It’s a souvenir, but a very functional one that helps extend the relationship they have with this place. We, of course, provide instructions for their care, reminding people to dry them outside on the line when the wind is in the west, because there’s a saying here: “When the wind is in the east, it’s not fit for man or beast.
Quilts are traditionally designed in the moment of making. Even though they are made from random bits of old clothing, there is nothing random about how they are stitched together. The quilter is making design decisions on the fly about which piece of fabric to add next. Looking at my own quilt, I might ask myself, “does that yellow really go with that pink?” I am not so sure, but Phyllis thinks it does. I love that this quilt holds Phyllis’s idea of beauty.

Oilers forward Zack Kassian 'in good spirits' after scary injury in fightZack Kassian's helmet came flying off during his fight with Zack MacEwen as the Oilers forward took a scary tumble to the ice. It’s a shame he feels the need to fight in a pre-season game no one will remember. Get well soon! Two guys on skates standing on ice throwing punches at each other‘s head. What could possibly go wrong with that. There really is no excuse to fight. This has to stop. Players argued the league minimized the impact of concussions from body checks, yet, they'll pummel each other in the head? Ridiculous.
