I won a jelly roll of the block fabrics in a giveway so I made a quilt out of them, semi-crazy stitched it, and then gave it away on my blog.

We decided to have just a little bit more fun before leaving and improvised one more Imperial Arrest with Angie being the prisoner this time. This is about the only time you'll see a rebel in control of an imperial! ;)
They who surrender to a grasshopper may fear,
but undeniably believe what they cannot hear :
hey i'm not afraid. wake up ! you are poisoning my world !...
happened (also) to me 5 years ago when one lonely grasshopper kicked my nose and pulled my staring focus out, after which he kept staring at me for almost 2 minutes.
Life, it's only a matter of time... not only for you but also for others here now and still to come.
Not only conquer but acknowledge surrender makes not only yours, but also their lives won.

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).
John Lewis Lambert
Strength in Surrender: Onstage and in Life
The world of improvisational theater has strengthened John’s scripted performances and awakened him to the improvisational reality of life itself, which rarely cooperates with our best-laid plans. This does not, however, alleviate the need for preparation. In some cases a single moment of clarity awakens a person to life’s fragility—such as the passing of John’s beloved wife, Maria Ivania. John's experience is not unique; only his perspective. With few weapons at his disposal to cope with the tragedy for his sons and for himself, the acting and improvisation worlds equipped him for the coming storms. When Life’s large waves hit and pushed John and his sons toward higher ground, Ivania was their anchor. They have since learned to turn around, face these waves, and pull out the proverbial surfboards. He contends that the principles of improvisation hold the keys to success onstage and in life ... because the entire world is a stage.

Lee's Surrender overshot blanket, ready to weave. This felt good!
I assume that this weaving pattern came from sometime around the Civil War, given the name. I can't wait to actually have it finished!
It was agreed that if my 4-H Cloverbuds could reach a goal set for them this year they could throw a pie in my face at our last meeting. They surpassed the goal 5 times over. I was in for it! Thankfully, I only agreed to one pie. It was actually pretty fun and they practically licked me clean.
