Today for me was a day of beginnings and endings… Kay Worthington and I spoke today at Chemeketa Community College at the third quilt show we have produced together. Last year we were invited by Tim Timmerman to show at George Fox University Gallery in the fall. This year we were invited by Laura Mack […]
The deed is done and it was fun! On Tuesday we packed our cars, grabbed a coffee and took off for Newberg… Gallery director Tim Timmerman and his student assistant Sarah were ready for us and set to work…we arranged the pairs, it went up quickly… and when we arrived Friday afternoon…Voila! …just a few […]
Saturday before we headed out we went by Bush Barn to take another look at the Bits and Pieces show without the crowd… Here’s Andrea Balosky’s gorgeous Dahlia Rag on the red wall as you come upstairs… and here are a views round and about… here’s Ross’ quilt with a detail of the stars…from a […]
Kay’s show opened Thursday night at the Corvallis Art Center housed in a former episcopal church at 700 SW Madison Street… It was the usual array of handsomely constructed items including quilts, wooden constructions, paper construction and a set of nine lovely colored pencil drawings The show is up until October 23rd…go take a look!
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 […]

We finished!! though it just about killed us off. The pre-elderly can’t really sew for 9 hours…Kay had to take a rest “cure” this morning and so did Jack… we tidied up and checked progress on the other quilts:
We really worked, and the method became very interesting. I would work on the quilt awhile, then Kay, then me etc. Our starting place was a Rosie Lee Tompkins quilt Yesterday, day 3, we worked about nine hours and Kay got up early to do the very last bit, which she’s working oneven as I […]
I think I mentioned that Kay and I are having a small show of quilts in October. She has a quilt I like, and I have a quilt she likes. Today we traded and I will “respond” to her quilt, and she to mine. Then together we will collaborate on a big quilt…so, to recap, […]
Tonight’s the last night for bids on the very fun shrine show at the Corvallis Art Center. 100 artists were given a box and then made “shrines” of various types. This week I ran down to see the show and took shots of a few Salem artists represented. There’s still time to get down there […]
