Trip to Santa Fe to visit 2 friends who have recently relocated, 2 separate friends. With Zoe we had great BBQ at Sugars, scouted out open studios - which is always fun. The photo below is the interior of a wood carver, furniture builder. This is a sampling of the interior of his pantry. The whole house reflects this artwork. He cuts the little notches with a very sharp pocket knife. Has no tv or internet so he had lots of time, I guess.<br />

On the way home we changed planes in Phoenix. Our incoming plane was full of WWII Veterans and their helpers. I think photos tell it all. There was a 4 man honor guard. Lots of clapping and some crying. It was an honor to just watch them come off the plane. <br />
<br />
Now we are home and it is November. <br />

This is sort of a recap of half a year. No excuse just good intentions.<br />
<br />
We play ukulele weekly and get to gather in great places. For 5 weeks we played at the Huntington Beach Pier, facing the Pacific ocean, waiting for the sun to go down. This is in conjunction with Island Bazaar a Ukulele store in HB.<br />

We spent months remodeling our home: shower, heater, water heater - that sort of thing. This cabinet was painted with chalk paint and I stenciled the glass doors. Horizontal surfaces are often used to stash stuff and this cabinet allows that stuff to be hidden behind decorative doors. Chalk Paint makes the impossible to paint, paintable.<br />

I took a 5 day workshop in Newport Beach with Portland artist Jesse Reno. As you can see he paints with his hands to start the process. It was intense, it was out of my comfort zone. I don't know what I learned but intend to practice. I would go again, I think. Look him up<a href="http://jessereno.com/"> http://jessereno.com/</a><br />
<br />
The class was all woman with one young man. Jesse calls everyone <i>Dude</i>. Beats Mam or hey you or you guys and beats having to learn names. He has a perspective and something to say, I am not sure what - yet.<br />

Confessing my addiction to Estate Sales. This rustic pie safe now looks great in my entry hall. Tom complains when we go pick up my latest cannot live without find. I know he loves the challenge of making the wooden furniture better. The previous owners bought this at a barn auction in Georgetown, Colorado - more than 20 yrs ago. And it was old then.<br />

We have just completed, yesterday, my first cousins family reunion. We had 30 for dinner Friday and Saturday but started the event with breakfast at the Beachcomber Restaurant in Crystal Cove State Park. The weather was fab. The waves were fab. The sky and clouds were fab. We first cousins have been doing this for more than 20 years. This year we had more and new next generation attendees, including my kids. All of America was represented. Many came to the beach Thursday evening for ukulele and dinner at Sandy's - under the pier.<br />

We remodeled the inside but also the<br />
back yard. The same footprint, less<br />
grass and more drought tolerant plants.<br />

To have 13 art quilts hanging on the walls in a large space was awesome. <br />
<br />
The Music and Arts committee helped pull off a great reception, starting with a salad bar and home made cookies. We took this opportunity to celebrate woman and fabric. And I got to talk about my work, what not to like.<br />

During the reception my good friend Robby Ravenwood will delight us with the ukulele. We actually met in beginning ukulele at Island Bazaar (our ukulele store of choice) in Huntington Beach. Robby is an accomplished musician and was adding the uke to his musical collection. Anyway, I will walk around the room and talk about my work, Robby will serenade us and there will be refreshments.<br />
<br />
I was able to add a 2nd time slot. Wednesday the 19th from noon till 3. I am hoping for a talking and sharing and visiting experience.<br />

My 4 Nobel Seasons quilts all together. These were made over 4 years and traveled independently and then traveled together with other like minded quilts.<br />
<br />
They are getting lots of attention. The images are from old family photo albums. I worked with the image in Photoshop and then printed the ladies onto fabric using my home Epson printer. <br />

We threw our own camp in my studio. Pam - a multi-media artist, wonderful creatures and innovative garments, she sees her own visions. Pam was re-purposing before there was the word. She has a vision and style. And Vicki - I met Vicki in a Penny Sisto workshop at Asilomar about a hundred years ago. Vicki once taught quilting and now teaches metals. Vicki was a sleep over camper and Pam was a local so she commuted but brought pull apart cinnamon buns, day two. I love all this "verbage", it sounds like camp.<br />
<br />
We spent Wednesday and Thursday together. Vicki brought her metals skills. Pam and I had taken a tin bird class at "Create" last spring and we had supplies and tools and ideas. It was a share and what if and what is that tool for. Pam had a ton of wonderful eyes to glue onto my tin birds. I had a pile of tin stuff - cookie tines and tea tins. Vicki had the tools to make metal discs, stamp out the words on metal, make a mold of and torch stuff.<br />
<br />
We are talking of renting a place somewhere and having camp again. You cannot buy or codger up this type of experience or friends. photos to follow. (I think I might get weepy) - long week and wine.<br />

First stop with friends near Oakland. Then we were off to SF to the deYoung Museum. The Berkeley years, an exhibit of Richard Diebenkorn. I love his figurative work. I love how the gestures of the arms and lilt of the body tell a story. I bought, rather Tom bought the book. So much for No More Books. <br />

We stopped at Ananse Village in Fort Bragg especially to visit with Rebecca. I have loved her imported fair trade African batik fabrics for years. I hung around her booth at quilt shows and we became friends. I will dip a separate post on her and her foundations and the people whose lives are better.loved seeing her and the enormous store. She had no black and white batiks, a quilter bought them all. A 6000 LB container was due Friday.<br />

Today we made Orange Ginger Marmelade. We brought oranges from our tree at home. And we made blueberry/marionberry jam. Pickles are in process, bread and butter and an old family recipe from tom's family for India pickles. Will need to report back on these.</div>

<div>
Along the way I have spent time with a quilter friend, Tom bought more Oregon Black Walnut wood, a dear young man and his son dropped by, had a pilates class.</div>

In My Quilt World. I have an interview article in In Stitches, an E, online magazine. And I hear a quilt of mine is featured in Quilting Arts for an ad for In Stitches. All is good.</div>

It is a century old landmark, a train station. It is now a collection of commercial art galleries, Santa Monica Museum of Art and a great paper store. We saw art, some more pleasing than others and had lunch. <br />

These traffic cones are wonderful - ideas abound. <br />

These Giraffe were for sale at the thrift store . They were metal, I knocked and forgot to ask the price. I did buy a metal lamp shade. Bought the floor lamp that went with it - it was $ 10. with or without the shade. (I forgot to take a photo - later )<br />
<br />
Then a creative way home.<br />

We did stop at Erin's home in Belmont Shore (part of Long Beach), walked her dogs, dropped of a birthday present and headed home. It made a nice day. Tom is retired and we often forget we can go and do - in the middle of the week. <br />

Lots of energy. We participated in an "embroidery drawing workshop exploring the idea of an 'ideal home.'" Artist Anila Rubiku, is the artist in residence and we helped with her project. Participants were multi-generational and multi cultural. At times I felt we were at the UN, I knew we had left suburbia and came out from behind the "orange curtain". Between the workshop and a great lunch at the Hammer cafe and the drive home, we were gone all day. <br />

The illuminated house - this one was larger than the ones we attempted. <br />
<br />
If I got the vision correctly - the houses will be placed on an illuminated plexi field, LED lights placed appropriately. The village will glow. I may have the concept wrong but the time spent with my friends - old and new - was great. Artist Anila Rubiku = please visit her website at<br />

I recently joined California Fiber Artists - a group of about 35 fiber artist in California who exhibit, that is the focus. The first show of the year just opened. I was not there for the opening reception but Tom and I will be dropping by this week This gallery is in the arts district. We are lucky that most cities have one. <br />

This is my piece in the show - it is 12" by 60". The base is cotton with layers of silk organza and commercial japanese handmade papers. I screen printed the line images of flowers and folage on the base fabric and on organza. I ran the paper through my Epson color printer. It is machine stitched and embellished. It is like looking out a window, what you might see.<br />
<br />
At the opening the artist attending gathered and spoke. Notice my piece in right behind them - yeah.<br />

Saturday Eve. we attended opening reception at the City of Brea Gallery's Made in California juried show. This is the view, my art quilt - <b>The Other Down Under</b> - front and center in the window. It is flanked by 2 black and white etchings of birds. I must say it looks wonderful and I am thrilled. It was a fun reception - thank you Brea.<br />

My art quilt - <b>Life Happens In The Space Between </b>- was at the Oceanside Museum of Art November thru January in Fiber Interpretations. We were paired with quilt in the larger Quilt National exhibition. I remain thrilled to have been asked to participate. The quilt is now home and ready for another adventure.<br />
