Amusements…
Across the country in New York City a beautiful new baby has been born, and her name is Colette. Her quilt was all ready, so once I heard her name and birth date I finished it off. The border is made of bits of fabric left-over from the quilt I made for her big brother […]
TOO Much Fun…
Kate invited me along to her quilt group this morning, and what a fun group they are. A variety of ages, a variety of interests, and very welcoming. Our hostess was Linda whose entire house is a quilting treasure trove…here’s a brief tour…she collects buttons… including this cute as a button pup named Buttons… and […]

Catching Up…
Summer. Got to try to live in the moment, so the narrative suffers. Here’s a digested version of what’s been happening in the far west: The beach. A week. So hot in the valley most all the beach views are misty and cool… and the sunsets were, well, muted, let’s just say… There was outside […]
