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, […]
KMUZ, 88.5
I think I told you about my fantasy of having a radio show…yes? Well, against all odds KMUZ got a license, got the equipment, put up a tower and…voila. A radio station is about to go live. They’re short on “content” here at the beginning, so I got an email to come on down and […]
ROBERT’S BOOKS…and more…
There’s this really GREAT used book store at the beach…Robert’s…owned by a book lover who also owns a new book store (Bob’s Beach Books). But it’s the used bookstore that lures us in, past the funny parking sign to the sign that tells you this is a serious book store …and in you go where […]
BOO!!!
A little interval in my sewing marathon over here on Court Street. Yesterday we went to a concert/lecture about “classicism” as it occurs in the work of Raphael and Rossini…first the lecture by Ricardo and Marva… followed by a concert in the lobby…here Marva and Dan, but also some operatic thrills and trills (sadly missing […]
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 […]
On to Vermont…
Leaving downtown Boston we drove back across Massachusetts (with more fall color, but only just beginning) on our way to visit Ellen and Larry in rural Vermont… they live on 20 or so acres near Dummerston, Vermont, which is near Brattleboro…and with good directions we actually found them. The quilts were airing as a welcome… […]
The Breaching of the Condit Dam…
Back in August we visited the site of the Condit Dam and reported in on the fact that it was soon to be blown up and the river returned to it’s natural aspect. Well…today was the day. 11:30…BOOM. I couldn’t be there of course, but Jennifer thoughtfully provided me with a live stream link and […]
The trip East…Rochester to Boston…
First stop after leaving Rochester was Germantown, NY, to see Libby and Michael and Kierlan in their wonderful house overlooking the Hudson River…but I lost my camera the next day so, alas, I can’t show you the work they’ve done on the house, the beautiful sweeping views of the Hudson, Libby’s amazing concrete tile floors, […]
A Visit to Rochester….
Since I lost my camera on our trip east, my photo record is incomplete…and, hence, the various posts forming in my head didn’t make sense so…here we go organizing by the venues–place by place…two weeks in the east, 2011. We landed in Rochester and returned to Rochester…former fame was Kodak (which is pretty much gone […]
