Happy Together

"After"

If people are friends, are their quilts friends, too? I say yes. When I was preparing for Sunday's visit with Carol and Guy, I finally got some of the clutter out the office. Check out the "before" picture.

"Before"

Now, my 2013 NW Quilters Challenge quilt "Wild Eyed Susans" is over the desk, and Andrea Balosky's "Cross Currents Study #2" from 1994 is on the big wall. They keep each other company in the quiet corner.

Across the way is a beautiful little star quilt made by Robin Carter, a friend of the family from Maine. All three quilts seem to like each other, and I think Andrea, Robin and I would have a great time if we were ever all together in the same place at the same time. They haven't met each other, but their quilts are happy together. Oh yes, Happy Together! Remember that song?

"j'adore!"

What a day! The fine folks from Quiltmania Magazine paid me a visit yesterday, and we looked at piles of quilts. I heard Carol say "j'adore" a lot. Here are a few of the "j'adores" from show and tell.

This one was on the wall in my great room

We saw 40 or 50 quilts, maybe more, and at one point I opened the lower hall linen cabinets to reveal another huge stash of quilts. It was fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We're going to be doing some projects together, so Bill's going to be a busy boy the next couple years. Merci beaucoup, Quiltmania!

Speechless Sunday

The Double Knit Twins in Generation Q

The latest Generation Q Magazine is out, and there's an article about Victoria Findlay Wolfe and me. We are dubbed the "double knit twins" and "modern poly-philes" in an article by Tracy Mooney. What a hoot! I'm so glad they put Victoria on the cover. She's simply gorgeous, and really stands out against the cityscape.

I still haven't seen the whole article, just what you see here. If you're interested, you can find more information about the magazine at the Generation Q website.
