"Ulu", Hawaiian pattern

I started quilting the "Ulu" Hawaiian small quilt (58 cm x 58 cm/ 22.5'' x 22.5''). It's my first time doing echo-quilting. I posted the beginning of the process on June 12, 2020. (http://patriciavalentini.blogspot.com/2020/06/ulu-hawaiian-pattern.html)

Wow! I had the same one! I was still using it not a long time ago. Yes, I'm an old fashion person, and whenever I can keep working with something that works, I keep it.
I don't need, and I don't want, to buy new techno-stuff every six months. Why I would keep buying things I don't really need! Please! Slow-fashion life, simple life, old-fashioned lady, whatever you want to think it's ok.
I was so happy when I could finally afford to buy it.
It was much more than useful. It was like having a new friend.
I was able to share my feelings, my thoughts, and my fears. I was also able to share the joyful moments of having a new idea for my next writing project.

I'm back



After a few months, I decided to come back here. I had a "writer silence time"; now, I see that it was a "resourcing time." I was mostly present on Facebook and Instagram with visual and textile art, but I come back to write and share. 
I rediscovered Sara Werner's blog, website, and Podcasts. (https://www.sarahwerner.com

So, here is my short story for Friday Prompt. (I'm an ESL writer, sorry for my English mistakes.)

 

 I saw her, and during a brief moment, I thought she would walk around to avoid the chess. Then, as she kept looking at the line of pawns, I knew: she was thinking. I can feel her mind wandering; it's almost like hearing her thoughts. You can ask me: how can you feel her thoughts? Well, I don't know, I just feel them. We met years ago and I love our long conversations, maybe that's why.
Some evenings we play chess, this is one way to understand her thoughts, and I'm sure she understands mine better. If you want to know the truth, she is the one who normally wins.
