Have been working on a quilt for our friends Hugh and Consuelo's new grandson, Colby. I call it "Doggy Love". It is made up of 6 inch squares of alternating doggy fabric and a nature pattern with die-cut hearts machine appliqued on each square. I have the quilt sandwich made and am in the process of machine quilting it. I am actually enjoying the machine quilting! I already did the top and am now working on the borders. The sides are leaves and I will possibly put a long tree trunk behind the leaves. The top is going to be clouds and the bottom border will be waves and possibly fishes. I have lots of leftover binding from my previous two food quilts and plan on using that to bind it. I am in no hurry so there is no stress to get it done. Perhaps that is why I am enjoying doing the machine quilting!
On another front have I mentioned all the concerts (3) we have been to this year? Most recently we went to the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley to hear Woody Hanks and Deborah Robin. They sing old time folk music a la Woody Guthrie. The new Freight is a lovely venue. There is parking right next door and they serve COFFEE! And you can drink it in the auditorium.
Well, unfortunately my time at the library computer is up so I have to close.

My blog is supposed to be about my art. This puts me in a real bind as I have not been doing much art, so it may also wander into friends, family, other people's art and life in general.
