The Seattle weekend didn’t ONLY have quilts in it…it had art and fun too. We arrived in time Friday to go to the Design Center for the screening of the new video and reception for the COMMUNITY ARTISTS PROGRAM, brainchild of Anne Lancaster. In this terrific program she matches display venues with artists work and […]

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, […]

Baker was lively and […]

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 […]
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…
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 […]
