I was looking at Cynthia’s blog today and saw her newest, lovely, mostly-white quilt, and thought maybe I’d post something on the quilt I’ve been working on–which is ALMOST finished. The piece is quilted by hand and, as you can see, involved a lot of straight lines (I used the fabric as a quilting guide). […]

Pelicans
At the beach last weekend we noticed hoards of brown pelicans, Pelecanus occidentalis californicus, in the Bay. At high tide they were on all of the logs and there was even a floating bit of wood with four pelicans going for a ride. By Sunday at almost high tide they were all gone: Brown pelicans […]
