Just before I left Mendocino on Friday to return to Portland, I found this quilt up in the loft where my cat sleeps. Lately, I am drawn to some older pieces that I finished many years back (this one in 1983 or 1984). One tends to look hard into the colors, the design, for a [...]

Slothful
Posted in Ruminating on August 30, 2009 | 9 Comments »
Meet Willie. This photo was taken a few months back in Mendocino. This cat, of the three in the household, knows how to take some of the best naps and vacations from cat life (running, jumping, chasing, eating, grooming and earnestly staring out the window). Could he be slothful? Perhaps. Do I mind his laziness? [...]
On the road again

I am leaving Mendocino early in the morning and going back to Portland. I should be home by 7PM. I spent some of today working on another quilt that I will show at another time. I also found another small quilt that I had made in the mid-80′s that would be good to embellish. I [...]
Dots Congregating
Posted in fabric/collage/applique on August 27, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I studied the words around the dots and decided one definitely had to go, “Reflection in a dot”. Maybe it was the light lavender color of the thread, but it seemed not to fit. It was an eyesore. So in its place I had to go larger with the circle and then proceeded to applique [...]
Dots and wine
Posted in fabric/collage/applique on August 26, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Honestly this combination is not as far-fetched as you might assume. This morning as I was headed out to do some work on my dot project, I was absorbing dots around me. I looked down at the entrance to the bathroom and suddenly saw dots. As you might have guessed, this house has some rustic [...]
Landed again

I arrived home this afternoon to find an Abbaye de Cluny in full bloom. What a nice greeting this was on a cloudy, cool day in Mendocino. Then I decided to go for a walk to get some exercise and restore some energy and found the geese alive and well in town, but still looking [...]
Leaving with a dot
Posted in fabric/collage/applique on August 21, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I am leaving shortly to drive to Santa Rosa about two hours away to catch a flight to LA. I am spending the weekend with my daughters in order to help with some wedding plans, primarily the wedding gown. I will be back on my blog on Monday. Before I added the first dot to [...]
My creative space

“We are in the epoch of simultaneity; we are in the epoch of juxtaposition, the epoch of the near and far, of the side-by-side, of the dispersed.” ——Michael Foucault Taken from The Lure of the Local by Lucy R. Lippard When I am in Mendocino, this is where I walk every morning to do creative [...]
Coming full circle

I usually begin with a photo, but in this particular instance, descriptions are necessary before photos. I am back in Mendocino again. By now, if you are following my life and its whereabouts, I am sure you have decided I am either a nomad or a little crazy. The first is a given, the second [...]
A Training Hike
Posted in Nature on August 17, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Sunday is usually a day for slow rising and coffee in the garden if the weather permits, but this morning we were up by seven, eating oatmeal and fruit and packing a lunch for a long day of hiking. As I was making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and drinking coffee, I had this faint [...]
