More Quilt Thoughts
The red star Quilt. We are so spoiled here. The high heat combined with the humidity isn’t like us at all. Warm and dry here….or hot and dry. Air blown our way from the desert not summer sto...
Quilting Thinking
Oh, I know. I said I was done with quilting, that the Blue Quilt was my last quilt, and then I gave all my fabric scraps away. Yes, I did that. I thought I had a few left, but it looks like I...

Cleaning House
Every once in a while, I go through the links on my blogspot page Postcards I’ve been to many blogs that have most of their links long gone. I don’t want that. Why? It’s frustrating. Then t...
Coffee First
There’s usually time for a little coffee and a chapter in my latest book before I head to the computer. I post on Facebook for both the Discovery Shop and Great curves next. Lately, when I hea...

Inland, where daughter Margot lives, it’s up in the hundreds. Here on the beach, the temperature is in the 90’s plus. Yesterday, we all headed to the bay to take Granddaughter Zoe fishing off ...
Layers
I haven’t had this quilt out since the big house. In this tall home, we have a tendency toward red, white, and blue. There, this quilt fit fine. Here, it never has. Harriette took two of my ...
Lumping It!
Last night’s frozen dinner didn’t sit well. After taking photos for great curves today, I came home and was a genuine lump. Even a nap didn’t perk me up. I went to the store briefly to buy a ...

Tid-bits, Orts, and Smalls
Naive quilt at the Mingei Museum Sometimes our lives are made up of nothing but unconnected little bits with jerks in between. Not that I mind this, but I really like those days that move smoot...
Frivolities
My childhood friend, Caroline, and I used to make skirts for our paper dolls out of hollyhock flowers. It was fun and frivolous to play like this. I couldn’t have done it at home. Now there a...
Thanks for Donating!
I’m a volunteer who takes things personally. That’s the bottom line. I’m the Wednesday and, if I am lucky, the Friday, book lady at the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop here on the Point...
ET Phone Home
I am dingy, and sometimes I am more than a little dingy, forgetful, and fuzzy. Last night after Chi Gong and dinner, we made a speedy run at JCPenneys for pants. Last night I was forgetful. I ...
USCGC Eagle
Eagle bowsprit with crew member. I’ve worked hard the last month or so putting together a piece on the Nazi School ships. It wasn’t fun to do as I couldn’t seem make it work. This week, the wr...

Another Opening; Another Show
Amish quilt in wonderful solid colors at the Mingei museum. Great rolls of Thor’s hammer filled the air yesterday morning. Shutting all the doors and windows in a massive rush, I just got the h...
Steampunk With George

The First Album
The Costumes of Comic Con is the first of the Facebook albums I’m putting together from our weekend in another land. The best from one day. Many of them I like a lot and hope you do too. Anot...
Comic Con Photos: 2
I must confess. Most of my shots have been Photoshopped. All these wonderful Comic Con Images are so crowded and filled with people, places, and stuff, that sometimes you can’t find the pictu...

Everyone wants to know how it was at Comic Con this year? I can honestly say that it was colorful, entertaining, theatrical, moving, as well as a learning experience. It was a crushing experi...
