Is serendipity a noun?

so, you've been invited to be a local quilt guild presenter?  now what?  make a decision, get a grip!

who will be there?  some modern, some traditional, some spontaneous, some subdued,  some young, some still young at heart.   how does one provide food for 25 when some eat fish, some are off carbs,    some are gluten free and some eat it all?  same rules apply when prepping for a quilt meeting presentation - provide a little bit of a variety.

so, the hint to the presentation will be entitled (appropriately) 'serendipity to a 9-patch' .   using only donated fabric, i'm busily making 9-patch blocks.  serendipity is a noun, and i'm in a serendipitous (adjective) state of mind.

..............several days later - so fun, i can report.   the presentation was a success and everyone seemed to enjoy my serendipitous habit of  turning loose of the rules.   admittedly, my serendipity is only that....mine.  but everyone should every now and then stop following the rules and enjoy the spontaneity and surprise and pleasure of improv patchwork. 

there were definitely no rules while "Blue Vase" was under construction.   smile
