Kauai Road…

I have been waiting for the right time to turn my quilting in a different direction. Even if I make it to the ripe old age of 111 (my personal goal) I know that there are only so many quilts in my future. Now is the time to do it or let it go.

There are a variety of quilters who who make quilts based on photos. Each one brings a different perspective to the process. I hope to do the same. This is the photo that I’m starting with. It was taken on Kauai, on the road that runs near Hanalei Bay.

I found the road on Google Street View. You can click around and follow the road if you want to. Let me just say that I love technology :-).

I’ll post more photos as the quilt takes shape.

It’s raining…

I’m home from market, unpacked and back at work. There is always something on my desk that needs attention, often to the exclusion of some other thing. I realized today that I haven’t written a blog post since I got home. How did that happen?!

Maybe the rain has something to do with it. I love rain, and rainy days do not get me down but even I am getting tired of this:

The plants look happy, and the ground will definitely be soft for weed pulling, if I find time to get to it.

I am so very thankful that we are not in danger of flooding. I hope you aren’t either. Linda’s house in Tulsa flooded before I met her and she said it’s just about the worst thing she has encountered. I have been working on a new quilt… I promise to post more on it soon.
