More bits and pieces:
Alzheimer's Quilt Auction for August is different, and special. They're auctioning the quilts that traveled in the exhibit Alzheimer's: Forgetting Piece by Piece. Many of these quilts were made by well known quilters. Check out the link and bid if you can, starting tomorrow.
This obituary, of Ardis James, whose donations started the University of Nebraska center for quilt studies, appeared in the New York Times a few weeks ago. I knew about the center, but nothing about its founders. What's interesting is how much her life experiences as a quilter were like those of many of us. She loved fabric: who doesn't?
Recently I bought a small painting from my friend Libby Fife, who blogs about her painting and other creative endeavors here. I'm so happy to have it framed and on my wall. The frame came from Dick Blick, very nice, very inexpensive.
I've been working on ribbon medallion centers for my guild show: here's the first batch, the white ribbons. The rosette and streamers will be the polka dot fabric with ribbon accents.
And finally, I got a new haircut, the shortest I've had for years. Apparently it makes me look slimmer, which I am, but no one had noticed before. Unfortunately, as Nora Ephron says, "I feel bad about my neck." I also feel bad about my glasses, and my teeth, but one can't dwell on that stuff.
