Imagination
George has headed off to Balboa Park early today. There’s a maker’s Faire throughout the park today, and the Automotive Museum is very much a part of all of it. What’s a Maker’s Faire? Handma...
Borgish
Bobbie wants 4 more pitchers for gifts. I sent pitchers…she sent back pictures. I sent back a note saying that they may have been sold. I felt like a borg for a while. LOL Himself: Still ...
Seasonals
<center></center> Our store is filled with Halloween things. I can see this. Most other shops have Halloween things scattered everywhere too. Including the Halloween shops. Teenag...
Filling Up
Look at that applique work. Lovely stuff. It looks twin sized, but I admit I didn’t photograph the label. Lovely visit with Bobbie yesterday. As they headed down to Mexico to their dentist,...
A Truism
Busy days. Good days. I love days when I actually get something done. When writing is included, the day really feels pretty good. Pictures taken too. I even managed to get meals planned and...
Moments
Teapot quilt. Moments: There was a little tiny house now a restaurant. Uncomfortable seats, stickey tables, but real Italian waiters. There was magically good food also. I don’t need an entr...
Weekend Tid-Bits
The ACS Discovery Shop/Point Loma Facebook page is up again at last. Maybe Facebook noticed all the fuss, hundreds of help email/tags from their users. Something finally happened, and we are u...
Antihistamines
There’s always something new at quilt shows. This time I saw Quilt’n With Soul. Not only a booth filled with Afrocentric fabrics, but later I sat with a table of ladies who had bussed down fro...
A Rabbit and the Autobahn
We have grapes but few book donations at work. It’s time to rotate books out, but I have nothing to replace them with. You would be very proud of me. I didn’t buy any grape anything….perhaps I...
Grapes
It was a wait morning. Yes, Bobbie finally bought a dishwasher. That was worth the morning wait to find out. After lunch I headed for the store to find that big piece of red fabric….perfect f...
Techniques
Above: A group of challenge quilts all in the same colors. Small but detailed. The second from left caught my eye. I was amazed to see that it was made up of all raw edge bits. Quilted in y...
Sock Top Quilt
I never knew there was such a thing. I never imagined that sock tops and sock bottoms were made separately either. I think they are made all at the same time these days. All this leaves me s...
American Crafts
Friday G and I went to an opening at the Mingei Museum in our centeral park. “Made in America, craft icons of the 50 states” was the title. For the first time they served cookies…animal crack...
The Fabrics were Calling to Me
I arrived at the convention center determined to not spend a thing. Not one dime. Folks in those sales booths all tried to sell me their products. “It had been a slow show,” one saleswoman to...
Many Mansions
Hall A at the convention center was filled with many long halls filled with nooks like this. If a company or vendor didn’t take a booth, the spaces were hung with three quilts each. Yes, it to...
A Fabric Lady
This wonderful lady is one of the designers for Moda Fabrics. Look at how happy and cheerful those quilts behind her are. We had a very nice chat about happy colors, and she told me that “Rosi...
Reminiscent
This quilt is reminiscent of the last quilt I made. Better made for sure. Here the centers are all a deep rose holding the quilt together compositionally. It’s a good size too. Himself: Wr...

Scattered Frustrations
Screen shot showing both sides not loading. Three days ago, the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop/Point Loma Facebook page wouldn’t fully open for me. If it won’t open, I can’t load pict...
And a Good Day or Two
Peter standing in front of a marvelous Mid-century Modern melamine wall mural by Enrique Paulucci. Media: Pencil, pastel, watercolors. Each day can be a good day now. I’ve never been good at...
A Perfect Moment
Just for a moment yesterday, I turned to George and said, “There could be no finer moment than this.” There was a cool breeze off the bay, we were sitting side by side in the ballpark munching o...
Sunday the 6th Orts and Snippits
The SAN SALVADOR Christening: G got off work early Friday, and we hurried down to the bay front here, which is called the Embarcadero, and he actually managed to find a parking place only a few...
Shop Till I Drop
Oh, I have such a problem. Every time I go into work, I buy something to bring home. Not quilts…oh no. My tiny condo would be soon taken over by quilts, but I buy books. I buy small fabrics...
September Dreaming
Golden Rose The nights are cool enough now that we can sleep with the windows open. There was a wonderful cool breeze blowing in the doors as we headed to bed. We both breathed a sigh of relie...
