Thanksgiving was fun with turkey and family and all that good stuff…though I didn’t take time out to photo it all, since I was the hostess, so just think of your own day, and ditto that for ours. Besides my lovely family and a tummy full of good food, I’m thankful this year for the […]

Sunday Fun…
While tidying up to get in the holiday mood… I found a little cellophane bag with some scraps that Kate brought me in the fall…and I had stuck on top of the cupboard and forgotten. Today I opened it up and thought there might be just the right amount of stuff for a log cabin […]
Corduroy 11-12-11, Hair of the Dog…
Of course the day AFTER corduroy appreciation day, at LeeAnn’s, we REALLY appreciated corduroy in the creative way…we took the two squares (one from each) Lee Ann made a third and decided to rotate the whole thing we got out all the leftover bits and cut them into strips and we just started in…placing, sewing, […]
Corduroy Appreciation Day…11-11-11
Yep…that is what 11-11-11 is…in some circles. LeeAnn announced this on her blog, and has been getting others to make corduroy quilts with the idea that on the actual DAY she would link everybody up on her blog. Check HERE to see what people came up with. I didn’t have much corduroy in my stash, […]
Moving on…I Hope!
The last of the doll quilts delivered today…I figured if they don’t sell I’ll have a bunch of funky place mats…for sort of a crazy-quilt table! “Vintage Fun” “For Agnes” “Double” and the larger “Crow” so, NOW, finally…into the studio I go…
The Doll Quilts…
Did you ever agree to do something that was MONTHS away, sounded easy? I did…and then promptly forgot I had agreed to make 12 doll quilts for Bush Barn Christmas festival. Oops. Consequently I’m chained to my sewing machine and cranking them out…here’s what I’ve got so far: Eastern Oregon…a section I cut out of […]
Hanging Out in Portland…
BEFORE I tell you about “artweek,” I thought I’d point out the seriously best ice cream I’ve had in ages, which you must go taste immediately at Salt & Straw, 2035 NE Alberta… even though this picture isn’t very appetizingly good because I started eating BEFORE I took the picture… Cheryl (my future co-mother-in-law) and […]
Bits and Beauties
Saturday before we headed out we went by Bush Barn to take another look at the Bits and Pieces show without the crowd… Here’s Andrea Balosky’s gorgeous Dahlia Rag on the red wall as you come upstairs… and here are a views round and about… here’s Ross’ quilt with a detail of the stars…from a […]
Patterns: Quilts and Gardens
My curatorial career is coming to it’s apex this week while both shows I have recently curated are on view (“Lord and Schryver” at the Hallie Ford Museum…closing September 18th… and “Bits and Pieces” at Salem Art Association’s AN Bush Gallery, up until mid October). Roger suggested this morning that there are certain similarities between […]
Bits and Pieces: The Opening
Our quilt show “Bits and Pieces” opened Friday night…and it was total fun. As you come up the stairs we see Kay Worthington’s quilt, and then into the gallery with Andrea Balosky’s huge Dahlia Rag at the far end… LeeAnn’s quilts looked smashing, and Local quilter Joanna Price was excited to have a piece in […]
