Nan turned me on to the Art House Co-op in Brooklyn last year and I’ve bought and sent in a couple of sketch books for their Sketchbook Project. But every week they have a free project…(one week it was to photograph your lunch at noon on a certain date and send them the photo so […]

Quilt Update…
So much creative stuff to do, so little time…learning “brushes” on the iPad, sent off the little quilt for Baby Evelyn using left-over pieces of binding from the “Dwelling” project… and she seems to like it…(awww..so cute!) Today I have the Value-Village-sheet quilt on the design wall trying to decide if the zig-zags (I seem […]
And so the New Year BEGINS!
We’re back. What a terrific holiday we had, and what a lovely beginning to 2012 from the beach. I finished a few 2011 projects like the ugly fabric challenge quilt # 2 and the utopia quilt we hung up the Christmas present lantern from “Santa” took in the bright moonlight (sorry…cellphone photo) reflected in the […]
Christmas is coming…
Karen came for coffee Sunday and when she stepped in, and wanted to take off her shoes, she noticed something unusual… …one Rocksport, one Mephisto…oops. Well it was dark when she put her shoes on she said. We had a coffee and a chat and then she unveiled the beautiful beautiful old quilt squares she’d […]
“Treasures From the Trunk”
Eight women met Sylvia Dorney (Greenbaum’s Quilted Forest) late this afternoon at the Willamette Heritage Center to walk through the nice show of heritage quilts curated by quilt historian Mary Bywater Cross…up until December 24th, one in a series of shows focusing on valley women. Most of the quilts were completed AFTER the Oregon trail […]
ArtMarket…
Put it on your calendar…December 9th…5:00-8:00 p.m….Bush Barn Gallery…ArtMarket will preview. Featured will be items made by local artists out of materials of “little intrinsic value” meant to be handled and sold very cheap. My particular entry will be 5 small duct (or, as it is now called, “duck”) tape “quilts.” These are mostly about […]
This and That…
Thanksgiving was fun with turkey and family and all that good stuff…though I didn’t take time out to photo it all, since I was the hostess, so just think of your own day, and ditto that for ours. Besides my lovely family and a tummy full of good food, I’m thankful this year for the […]
Sunday Fun…
While tidying up to get in the holiday mood… I found a little cellophane bag with some scraps that Kate brought me in the fall…and I had stuck on top of the cupboard and forgotten. Today I opened it up and thought there might be just the right amount of stuff for a log cabin […]
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, […]
