Up until 2010, Labor Day meant back to school at our house, but now it just means end of summer bounty and weather, and fall still ahead to look forward to.

Seattle quilts…
The first stop on the quilting tour last week took us to the Bellevue Art Museum where there is a wonderful show of the collection of African American quilts gathered by Corrine Riley…and they were pretty inspirational… with this as one of my favorites… and that was a pretty hard choice, as they were all […]
Project Space: Bonnie Hull
Back to reality today, a week after the wedding. I begin to think about hanging a little show of my summer work down at Project Space. I hope to have it all up Friday the 17th, and the “opening” will be First Wednesday, September 5th, 5-8 p.m. Come see if you are out and about. […]
A Summer Weekend in Salem…
Friday I finished the little quilt top I’ve been working on down at Project Space (now to actually QUILT it…) and then I went to CAMP…for an hour. I visited the Art Camp held at Willamette University and watched with interest as the campers worked on small wax pieces. They were FEARLESS and willing to […]
Alaska 2…Art Found and Made
Howard and Amy took a trip on the ship Infinity early in the spring through the Panama Canal, and they told me there was a David Hockney on board someplace. When we boarded I asked at the desk for a list of the art on board and I was told “That does not exist, Madam”. […]
Mothers’ Day Weekend….
I had a great one and am wishing all my motherly readers did too. Mine began with breakfast on the deck while I contemplated the Tennessee Goodwill shirts…hmmm….hard to image the quilt this will become… flowers were brought from the Dad in question… and when I went to get the mail I noticed a photo […]
The Promise of Summer…
Dorothy (as we call the lady in our GPS, thanks to Richard and Carol) took us STRAIGHT to the beach Friday… stopping only long enough for a glass of wine and a few “small plates” at the Inn at Spanish Head (where we were supervised closely)… and some veg. Saturday dawned warm and sunny and […]
Gee’s Bend at Camp McDowell
So…I decided to send my self to camp. Quilt camp. Four days with two Gee’s Bend quilters and 16 other quilters, in Alabama. Ten days ago I hopped on an early morning train to Seattle, and the next day our little girl group of three took off for the “Deep South”…leaving the northwest behind…on our […]
A week Away…
I’m gearing up for a week away next week…going to Alabama to sew with a couple of Gee’s Bend quilters. This week I’m sinking into thinking about fabric and the creative experience ahead…here’s a little (4″x6″) piece I made for the ArtHouse Coop…(it’s called “Diet Day” and is part of a project for artists to […]
…On the Design Wall…
Here’s a quilting update..red and white quilt finished..design good, applique not so good, quilting good+… I’m slowly turning the Indian skirt I got at Value village into a log cabin-ish quilt…it was a bunch of strips sewn together which I took apart… then cut the strips in half… added strips from an old sheet… voila: […]
