Stalked by BMWs
Recently BMWs have been riding my bumper, tailgating, cutting me off and generally behaving badly on the road near me. I don’t drive that much so my left brain is trying desperately to assure my right brain that it is … Continue reading
EBHQ Show 2010
Saturday I attended the East Bay Heritage Quilters Show. As usual, this show was impeccably set up and organized. In general, I thought the quilts were a lot more interesting than the last show in 2008. Much less brown as … Continue reading

Quilt Show Downtown
255 California has a small show of works by Debra King. Her work drew me in off the street with her quilt block-like shapes. Her pieces use Ruth McDowell’s concept of pressing carefully to highlight certain details. Within the quilt … Continue reading
I Did Not Attend Houston

PIQF Follow-up
Like everyone else, the economy is affecting our family so I was extremely restrained in fabric purchases at PIQF this year. I tried to only buy fabrics that were really calling my name. As you can see, I still have … Continue reading
PIQF 2008 Day 3
PICT2941Originally uploaded by jlapacAs I mentioned, the quilts were much more cheerful. I don’t think there were enough of them to think of ‘cheerful’ as a theme. However, I did notice two themes: leaves and hexagons. I would say there … Continue reading
