LeeAnn’s sewing room is in the daylight basement and is large and accommodating, with 3 sewing machines on hand…her nice new Bernina and her Grandma’s Viking (“the good kind […]

Saturday night at the ER
As I’ve listened to people comment on this blog they say “Oh you have too much fun” or “What a life you lead…all fun” and I think my impulse for happy and interesting talk is correct…but any life has other stuff too. Blogging and carrying a camera all the time makes you kind of into […]
Christmas Fun…
We went over to Linda and Greg’s House the other night and Greg told us about growing up in Coos Bay and how his mother (now over 90) had been active in Eastern Star and had a closet full of “formals”, in the old time sense of “formals.” When she moved to the valley she […]
Quilt thoughts…
Once you start thinking about (and working on) quilts…well, you find them everywhere. Sitting down with my quilt the other night (I’m alllllmost done with the hand quilting) we plugged in the netflix, “The Seven Year Itch…” (Marilyn Monroe) and on came the credits…OMG and then this morning in the paper was a nice article […]
City Day…
Day three of the birthday week was a wandering sort of day…looking, maybe a little shopping. In the quilting world people are always coming up with interesting things to do with scraps and the window designs downtown this season have some fabulous displays. Here’s Anthropologie’s Christmas window and a FANTASTIC color display Plus this shop […]
15 Minutes a Day…
I’m a big believer in 15 minutes a day…that’s how I got painting again in the mid 1990’s after a 10 year hiatus (and opening a restaurant…that slowed me down a bit). Lately I’ve been looking at quilting blogs and have enjoyed Victoria’s 15 minute play. I decided to head to the sewing room daily […]
Kay Worthington in Corvallis…

The Quilted Conversation…
This morning we went over to see the show of Kay’s and my quilts at Bush Barn that went up while R and I were gone. Included were the quilts Kay and I each made in “conversation” plus the one we collaborated on this summer. The show looks good but is in a dark space […]
Quilts hit the road…
Travel time. I’m putting the last bit of quilting on the collaboration quilt, and off it goes to Kay for her to finish. (The show goes up the first week of October at Bush Barn Art Center…Quiltopia week…) the “reconfigured” wedding ring (the Project Space project) goes along with me to Hawaii, with my goal […]
Crazy Quilts
Until I have the new studio and can paint, it’s quilts all the way. I was reading Barbara Brackman’s blog this morning about crazy quilts which sent me to my own photo archive. A few years ago I happened into the Lincoln County Historical Museum at the end of the quilt inventory day, people brought […]
