From a class with Colleen Wise, at Asilomar. I didn't realize that I had laid it on the floor with the light coming from the right direction to emphasize the shading!

9-block quilt. This was supposed to have been cut down like Progressions 1, but I liked the block so much I couldn't bear to cut it up!

Nine-block quilt. Each block is identical: they were made at 15" then cut down to 12" with each cut moved over slightly to give a different view. The wonderful Laurel Burch cats were the inspiration!

Quilt top I made back in... oh, back "then." Now getting ready to quilt it. Still debating adding a border, but kinda think that binding will finish it nicely.

Curious Simon trying to figure out what on earth this strange concoction is. He did NOT get a lick of it--the flash startled him and I moved the cup out of nose range!

Paperwhite narcissi, after the rain. Volunteer bulbs that come back year after year.

Snapped this picture this morning not long after the rain stopped. This bush is, I think, one named for General Patton, which we planted not long after we moved in.
