This is a little bit silly, but the recent New York Times article on Julie Green’s terrific show at the Corvallis Art Center reminded us we’d better get down there. We set off in the fog this morning… and took the back road… and after a little lunch, arrived at the Corvallis Art Center (700 […]

Take-A-Breath Day
I admit to kind of liking it when something shows up in the NYTimes or a magazine as being a must have item…and it’s an item that’s been kicking around my own kitchen for at least three years (though I take no credit for design sense…it was a gift)… (in case you missed it, it’s […]
Stamina-building, Day 4
That’s really what this week is about…starting to walk, and building stamina…but in the most fun possible way. Today’s “work” began with a sunny-day breakfast with some artist friends, including Violet, who got right to work with crayons… and then getting the quilt (for the soon-to-arrive Seattle baby) safely into his grandmother’s hands… After lunch […]
Notes From the Sewing Room Floor

“Honesty Lunaria: How One Thing Leads to Another”
We were outside doing a bit of fall garden clean-up today and I found a stalk of money plant I had yanked out in the summer and put aside to deal …and then forgot all about it. A little bouquet is always nice, so I started removing the seed pod coverings…before you remove the coverings […]
QUILTS
Some friends have a nice old family quilt that mysteriously was damaged, and I agreed to repair it. Have I ever repaired a quilt before?? Nope. But it was fun and didn’t take long… the damage was on both sides, but not as dramatic on the back… A damaged section of the quilt had been […]
Wednesday was quilt day…
Mary lives in Tennessee but she keeps track of things. She emailed me that quilter Elizabeth Barton was going to speak on the 12th at the Columbia FiberArts Guild in Portland, so I went along to hear her. What a hoot. Barton is English, born and raised in York (though now living in Athens, Georgia)…and […]
…from the road…
This cracked me up…
