Just around the corner

Tying up a few loose ends

Love Melissa McCarthy-but I'll pass on Mike and Molly.

The PB&J was at work in the frig. I am over my PB&J craving.

I have decided I truely an appliquer. I love the look of patchwork

but it is a task for me. I will do both but applique for me is like

an ocean wave and me floating on it-very relaxing. It is my Om,

my song of the uni-verse,and glory to God. I had in a class last

weekend that was primarily applique and I throughly enjoyed it.

May a great day be had by all.

Where is the PB&J

If it's not in the home frig it must be in the work frig. Where else?

I think this is called Lizzy's Quilt, design by Jo Morton

I hope this says Merry Christmas and Happy Valentines Day all in one.

As always I looked to the quilt to guide my fabric choices. This is a fun

and playful quilt.

Melissa McCarthy. . . in Parade Magazine this morning says

"To me, having 500 rolls of fabric around is the most calming thing in the world." You have seen her in CBS's Mike and Molly, Gilmore Girls and Samantha Who?

All I have to say is she is so right. Thank you Melissa McCarthy!

Then to I read a very refreshing piece in Quilt Magazine by Kaffe Fasset called "In Praise of

Old Age". Of note in his article, he is entering his 70th year. He is referring to his admiration

of two women in their 80's. One of themis the famousRosalie Goscoigne (1917-1999). There

is to much in this article to quote. If you want to feel really good, just read his article, have a

long life and quilt to the end.

The article on Melissa McCarthy says about fabric,"I think it's what football is to some guys."

I do to Melissa.

This is just some fun I am having on Sunday morning while I have my cookies and tea for breakfast. Now on to my stationary trainer so I can ride my bike in the house. Life doesn't

get any better than this. I finished my Lizzy's quilt from the Jo club last night and it's

not due until next month. Never mind that it's a hugely tiny, tiny quilt.

PS-Parking in San Francisco

Today will include a trip to San Francisco today. Why? New Years day everybody is still sleeping

and leave there cars somewhere else. It is a free parking day on the meters and there is parking

galore. No lines at the eateries, no reservations required and no traffic. I normally take BART

rapid transit into the city. I must go to St.Anne's next to Britex. Barbara Brackmen featured it

on her blog. Even if it is not open I want to see the old sewing machines in the window. Sounds

like my kind of window shopping.
