I'm So not enjoying this weather

-


We just returned from about a week at Nehalem Bay campground, it was a wonderfully peaceful time. Loren's sister came with us and then Ginny and Darren joined us for a nice mini reunion!

Very close to the campground there is a place called Cart m. It's kind of a recycle place (also called The Refindery)  that has cool stuff. Susan Pulford told me about this place and we visited it again. This is some of what they do...Upcycling....go visit if you can.

We made a trip to Manzanita. Fun little town to shop in.


Nice bench to rest on. There were wind surfers having a wonderful ride. It was very windy,

A couple of class pics


Diana scaled down this pattern and made it her own! I love it. 


Denise added beads around the circles and now I need to add them to mine!


So darn inviting


Pennies anyone???

New Classes


Martingale - Yoko Saito's Japanese Taupe Color Theory

On Saturday August 4 from 10-2 we will put together a color wheel of our own. Yoko takes you through her process of choosing colors for the projects in her book.

She has a wonderful sense of color and shows us how she works. Bring your stash of taupes and a glue stick and construct a color wheel to help you begin a project. It's a good skill building exercise. If you are willing to share, cut some of your fabric into 6" squares and do some trading to expand your collection.

Please email me to register as spots are limited. $10.00 will cover hand outs, materials and snacks. 

Questions? thequiltingb1947@gmail.com

Petit fours



There is a fun kind of art/quilt around these days called "inchies".  I prefer Petit Fours because they are petite and remind me of delicious little candy bites. Each little square is a unit all it's own and in groups make a pleasant statement.

Friday August 17 from 10-3 come and play with fabric, buttons, lace and ephemera. I will supply threads to choose from and assorted fabrics.

If you would like more pictures of what I have been working on, email me.

To register, email me    thequiltingb1947@gmail.com

Once again I thank you for reading my blog. I am hoping it is a small source of  enjoyment. It is for me when I write it. I do find that sometimes I write like I text. In very short sentences! I often lose my writing skills in my effort to be quick and precise. If you have any feedback I'd be happy to hear from you.

....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...
