My current projects


My friend, Marcie, made this beautiful bag so naturally I want one too. I haven't gotten very far but I love the beauty of it.


This is the book where you can find the pattern.


My friend MaryAnn made a great "penny" rug with hexagons so, of course, I need one too.



A friend of mine, Mary, made this adorable little quilt, I need one too.


Pattern of small unfinished quilt.





 I saw something like this somewhere and I have lots of taupes, so I need one too.

Do you notice a pattern here?



Now this quilt I can  blame on lots of friends.



Pattern that you need so you, too, can participate!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


OK, remember the penny trees from a few months ago? We wanted to make Halloween trees?

  In Sept. we can do this. Make a penny tree or as I am doing...a yoyo tree. You can  blame MaryAnn for this idea. I love it.  Mine is in progress. Date coming soon.


Another class in Sept. will be the making of these beautiful Sashiko placemats.



They are made with linen in two colors. They are reversible. They are an extension of our previous Sashiko classes. Quite fun and quick to make. Class date coming soon.
Sound interesting?

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

We went camping at Ft. Stevens with Ginny and Darren. It started out crazy wet. I mean gobs of rain. Our site was flooded and only due to Loren's masterful parking, were we able to step out of the motor home.


Next morning the sun is out and it's great.


On the way to Astoria we found this tree. I love it.

In Astoria in someone's yard


I love seeing the colors of moss growing on cement

Lots of Huge Queen Anne's Lace

After Ginny and Darren went home we moved down to Nehalem Bay Campground. It was a nice week. We went through Tillamook on our way home for ice cream and their new gorgeous center is open this week, I think. It is really classy.
We are back home for a while. We are going back to Nehalem Bay in July with Ginny and Darren.

....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...
