More Quilts

I have pictures of more quilts from the show this past weekend.

Chickens seemed to be a common theme this year.  I took pictures for my chicken raising friends and neighbors.



This one is Hawaiian birds and fruits:


Of course, there were some Christmas quilts:


These were all happy quilts.  They made people smile.

    Can you imagine sewing these quilts yourself? I wish I had the talent and especially the patience do something like this!

      I can do some simple quilting, but going to a show like this is really quite daunting.

    Loved the chicken in various activities the best. The drunk one leaning against the pole cracked me up.
    Wish I had nimble fingers to do such work.

    All 3 of those chicken quilts are great -- and very silly! I love it and very different from the usual quilts that are patterned after our grandparents (and theirs) quilts. Thanks for sharing these!

    I so appreciate the time and work that goes into making these quilts.

    They are all very unusual and different. What a great find and you walked away without a purchase.

      Well, not quite. I did buy material to make my own projects.

    I love that second one. YES, these made me happy looking at them just in photos; I can imagine the smiles of those seeing them in person.

    I have a friend, a graphic artist, who designs and sews fabulous quilts. It's such an art form. These vivid colors do make me happy.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

Life Goes On

There is nothing like a visit from the grand children to remind one that life goes on.  I spent Friday night at my daughter's and then brought the kids back home with me.  I did not get to see so much of them this past summer and it was a birthday gift to my daughter (who just turned 40!) to have a couple of days to herself. She probably spent them in her son's room playing Lego StarWars.  Dane tried to teach me how to play this video game--a hopeless task if ever there was one.  "Concentrate, Grandma!  You have to concentrate!"  I do have a hard time with sustained concentration lately, but in this case I had no clue what it was that needed concentration.  He finally took the controls away from me (thank-you!). It's amazing how long he can amuse himself at my house being out side on a scooter or helping me in the yard, especially if it involves a hose.  Inside, they both sit and draw or craft for hours.  Just before bed, Dane did say, "N...

Eggplant

Mike and I considered ourselves soul mates, but we definitely were not culinary mates.  Mike liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked and he never changed his mind about things like that.  He did not eat mayonnaise.  He did not eat tomato sauce.  He did not eat cooked vegetables except for corn, peas and green beans.  He did not eat onions cooked or otherwise.  He did not eat casseroles ever since they were a combination of things he didn't eat anyway. I did not like mushrooms as a kid and eggplant just made me gag, but my tastes changed,  Foods I found disgusting as a child are now among my favorites--mushrooms, eggplant, avocados, asparagus, eggs, spinach, brussel sprouts, herbs and spices. I will admit that I never developed a taste for liver (nor do I want to). I made this Moussakka a while ago and ate it every day for a week.  I froze half of it but ended up thawing it out right away. It consists of sliced eggplant layered...
