The Day before Election Day

Happy Monday

All I am going to say about the Election is Vote! I'm sure we will all be glad when the commercials are not longer thrown at us..

*************************

I recently was able to go to the quilt show in Aurora. My friends, Karen and Gloria and I have been going to this show for many years. I particularly like it because it is in historic Aurora and it is usually a showing of old quilts and even though there are new quilts, they fit in nicely with the old ones. There is an old log cabin called The George Steinback Family Log Cabin and there is a fire in the fireplace and cookies and it is a wonderful atmosphere on a chilly fall day. Here are a few of the quilts and a picture of the log cabin.

    You have a talented group of friends Betty . . and they have a talented teacher. Love seeing the projects and the Aurora show. That "barns" quilt must have been something to see. Happy winter stitching to you all.

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...
