Looking Back 2019

The first excitement of 2019 was a new baby in our extended family. Jazzy & Jonathan Trivett had a baby boy,Wesley, on December 27th and, of course, a new quilt had to be made.

January's quiet made room for 3 new scrap quilts in blues, yellows & greens.

There was gorgeous January fog ....

& a show at the Museum of Anthropology: Marking the Infinite, women artists from Australia.

I just loved these & this particular artist !!

We went to Toronto for George to be a three-night patient in The Shouldice Hospital. It specializes in old fashioned mesh-free hernia surgery.

This was the view from my window. This is the quilt I worked on while being the Daphne-nurse-in-waiting. It is made from an old whole-cloth batik from Jokjakarta, Indonesia. It is very densely quilted.

We came home to a snow fall & George getting better.

 Computer problems erupted, providing awesome patterns, & requiring a new hard drive.

                                    Neither became quilts!

In March Vancouver House finally topped out & lots of new stuff was going on at lower levels. This building project I have been following since 2013. 

April brought new crow friends: a pair & yearling. I can't tell them apart! They like my food when I leave some for them, but I don't feed them every day.

In April we took a road trip first to Victoria to visit with Marcia & Jim from Moab. Marcia was a college roommate of mine in 1960.

From there we went to the coast for a night. Gorgeous!!

Me, blissed out! 

George looked pretty good too, I thought.

Onto Olympia for some silly games with Joslyn, Rip, Timmo & Lucy.

May: Erica graduated from The Ecole Osteopathique!

I also went to San Francisco to visit my sister Annie & her husband Bob. Her son Philip, his wife Georgie & daughter Sofia were visitors too.

This is our year of having two new tables made.

Ben is the builder, seen here assembling one.

In June I went to NYC to visit friends & museums. It was rich!!

Here are the Putney School friends gathering.

I stayed at Meridee's.

And a few days later a Sarah Lawrence 1959-60 College Roommates gathered, minus Marcia & plus Susie.

Well, that's quite enough. I got half way through the year!!

July 4 opens chapter 2 of 2019.

That's it for now.
