    Default Sand drawings by Scientific American

    I found this article fascinating! Plus it gives me factoids about Vanuatu other than "a place Survivor has been".

    I am so proud of our tradition of quilters figuring out some pretty complex mathematical and geometric formulas using nothing but a piece of paper and a straight line. Sometimes we are doing math and not even aware of it!
