Today In…

Apple commercials tell the truth. Jan’s MacBook Air does actually fit into an office envelope. My HP laptop was sent off to Tennessee last week to get a new mother board, and Jan saved my week with a loan of her very sweet computer. It’s SMALL, and VERY FAST. Thanks Jan. But it is nice to have my computer back so I can get back into Today In, and my Flicker account so I can upload some pictures. Now we all don’t have to look at those old ladies anymore on Today In. Speaking of old ladies. If this old lady can open a Flicker account, and re-learn how to blog on Today In, then I bet ANY of you young punks could do the same thing.

My quilt guild in Eureka has had a group of quilts juried into the national show in Nashville this August.  We entered a group of eight quilts in “The Ultimate Quilt Guild Challenge”.  We were one of the ten groups in the country to be selected as semi-finalists and to possibly win one of the three monetary awards.  Our guild challenge was to individually create a quilt with the theme: A Peak into the Forest.   My quilt was created with hand-dyed fabric and photo-transfered images.  This is what “my forest” looks like at sunset at the end of the summer.

So we have sent eight quilts off for judging, and we hope that we can win some of the prize money for the guild.

Or you could say that perhaps we are in Area 51, New Mexico (see the flying saucer?)

Just a cool and shaky picture of the sunset through ginkgo leaves.

New kicks!

Raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries on a pastry cream base.  Thanks Hill…..and Dave for transporting it so carefully in the back of a fast moving atomic blue Honda Civic
