Decided to take a little business trip to California, before the onslaught of market preparations. Much to my delight, I was able to have a delicious lunch with two of the funniest blogging quilters I know...
I call them "Elizapam". We met in Mill Valley, which IMHO is pretty much the cutest town in Marin. With it's little parks, turn-of-the-century shingle style cottages, and a storybook downtown, a girl could fall for the place...
It's too bad we had to "pinkie swear" about some of our next up-and-coming projects (lots more soon). We gabbed for several hours, only to call it short when East Bay traffic patterns caused them concern. (They graciously offered to come to my side of the bay, as I am again staying in Marin county with my old buddy Ric, who I have mentioned before). It was great seeing you girls!
Over this past weekend, I saw a really fun arts & crafts exhibit called "The Box Show" in Point Reyes Station. The show has become so popular, that they have to hold a lottery for open spots. It was so much fun. Each artist got a box to do anything they want with. Here's a few examples of some of the projects they showed...
This soft sculpture was made by Mollie Lounibos. I just loved her birds, and wherever did she get that wood textured fabric?
Don't you all want a box made of Blue Willow china? It's by Pattie Grey.
Simon Jeremiah did this homage to Joseph Cornell, one of my favorite 3 dimensional collage artists.
It's magazine quilt season right now, so I'll have lots more to show and tell when I get back to the studio.
Back in two shakes...H2 @:ยบ)
It was great seeing you Holly! Thanks for making time to see us!

Hi Holly!
I've missed you all summer and glad your back again. Sorry about the pooches. Quilts are gorgeous. I have a question. What did you use for the backing on the EZ DayZ It Quilt? I finally finished mine and confused as to what to use for a backing? I need suggestions!!! [email protected]
