"Modernism" has really taken over a segment of quilting; in fact there is an annual national show of "modern" quilts, which will be in Raleigh next year.

We are selling the house that we had planned to remodel into our "permanent" home, so Mark has been extra busy since we returned from San Francisco.  I've realized that I usually lead with a group of pictorial quilts when I've been at a big show.  I talked the other day about the 883 pieces of local art exhibited at the de Young Museum, now until January 7.  We started our Bay Area vacation yesterday at Eats on Clement Street.

We came to San Francisco because we still have a timeshare here, and to visit a multi-day quilt exhibit in Santa Clara.  Cheri spent two intensive days comparing sewing machines for quilting, which left me time to roam around the 14th most populous county in North Carolina.  I've been encouraging Cheri to spend some time shopping so that she can replace her 20+ year-old sewing machine. She wanted to do that a few hours from home, at a place we found last year when touring North and South Carolina on a quilt "shop hop."  Members of the "stadium" quilt guild that I belong to trekked to the northwest corner of the state last week to quilt in a lovely mountain lodge, located in Valle Crucis, N.C.  |
