Nora is here

-
Welcome to Fall! My favorite time of the year. The only thing that makes my days better is having Hugo, Jennifer and Nora here. They arrived and we have been blessed by lots of baby smiles. Nothing can warm a grandparents heart like those sweet smiles when you know she is recognizing you.


We had a family barbecue on Sunday and here is Grandpa holding Nora. We had a gathering of the cousins. It was really nice seeing everyone again.


My girls Ginny, Carrie and Jennifer and their two cousins Tammy and Alicia and the cousins kids.

Sylvia has moved into the dorm at PSU and Nora was taking a nap.

Nice memory making day.

My friend Dorothy and I went to the Portland Art Museum on the 12th to see the special exhibit of The Art of the Louvres Tuileries Gardens. It was wonderful. We went to Paris a few years ago and walked in the Tuileries and visited the Louvre. Seeing the exhibit made us feel a pull to go back but a sweet reminder of some really special days. I loved everything we saw in France. I left my heart in Paris!

######################

I want to thank all of you who have come to the studio and stitched with me. I feel very privileged to spend time with you, learn from you and be encouraged by you. Having you in my favorite space is a huge blessing. Thank you so very much.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The block of the month is almost ready. Leigh's quilt is finished and ready for viewing. My blocks are in progress and are ready to be packaged up. Here is picture of another of the blocks.


During the Open Sew class on October 12 you will have an opportunity to view the finished quilt. Please come by between 11-4 to see the quilt and maybe decide to sign up. I will have some kits available to take away that day.

The first month will include the background fabric for the first two blocks, the wool for both blocks and two balls of perle cotton for stitching. The cost for the first month is $32.00. There after you will receive two blocks with the wool and the background and the cost will be $22.00 per month. They will be ready by the second Sunday of each month. I will let you know the cost of the border soon. I think it will be fun and it is certainly good for a beginning project in wool. While you are doing the BOM, you are welcome to come to the First Friday class each month at no charge to work on your blocks.

Any Questions? thequltingb1947@gmail.com or call me 503.680.7436


I think that's it for now!

....and then it snowed!

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
