old quilt we bought






one of my lucky indulgences in life is buying hand-pieced and hand quilted scrap patchwork quilts. we have ...alot of them. i fell in love with this one very scrappy quilt, while on vacation. the backing with the scarecrows on it was irresistable. the most fun i had on vacation was watching this quilt spin around in the front end loader at the laundromat with the colors spinning and changing, it was like watching a twirl-a-paint at a carnival. i got a little sad when the scarecrow appeared in the window of the washing machine and was spinning uncontrollably in circles, but she looks no worse for the wear.

the blue quilt, i coveted for days, but now it belongs to someone else.

sock monkeys on vacation










vacation was full of lots of beautiful blue water, cool breezes and sweet smelling pine trees. we almost bought a pilot boat, but mostly we had a lot of fun!

we met a very special artist, barry colpitts. we now own a couple of his very sweet wood carvings.
