New York city included a few sights that were new to us suburbanites. Like bumper pads for cars. After seeing how closely the cars park, though, we can definitely understand the need for these. Click any image for a larger view Of course, not all the parking is on the street. Some go to a […]
When visiting New York city, you’d excpect to find amazing art at The Met. And we did. Click on any image for a larger view But, we also found artistry in store windows and displays. Like the paper “dress” on this mannequin at Papyrus. Later, I stumbled upon Lion Brand Yarn Studio, a […]
On my fourth trip to New York City, there was no need to do the typical tourist activities, (although I did repeat a few of my favorites.) Instead, my husband, son, and I took things at a fairly leisurely pace and enjoyed doing some new things together. Our first stop was Korea Town because my son is obsessed […]
Our nation’s capitol is such a beautiful city. The combination of federal buildings and monuments, as well as the vast green expanse of “the mall” is, I think, unmatched anywhere in the U.S. There’s so much to see. Like the many monuments. Even Union Station (train station) is a welcoming sight to travelers. This is […]

This is the third time the fiber group, Thread Heads, has shown their work. While viewing the display, I enjoyed the company of Donna and Judy, two […]
Our fun in Seneca continued with a 3-hour Double Reverse Applique class. We ended up stopping early, so no one quite finished their apple.

In early May I got to teach in Seneca, SC, which was a wonderful experience. The members of Lake and Mountain Quilt Guild were very gracious hosts. I had multiple chauffeurs and dinner companions: a total of TEN! What fun for me. Plus, the area is really pretty and I got to see the lovely campus of Clemson University. […]
