  • Spring Quilt Market in Portland, Oregon

    I am in Portland now, a city I truely enjoy visiting. This is my third Quilt Market in Portland and I stay in a different part of the city every time, using public transportation to get around. Yesterday I went to Powells Bookstore, the largest used bookstore in the nation. I walked for hours through…

  • Art Quilt Exhibition in Anchorage, Alaska

    How lucky can I be to call both Kathy Harte and Judy Wedemeyer friends? These two talented ladies are letting the world see their quilted art works at Terra Bella Bakery & Cafe (on Dimond) in May, beginning with the First Friday Event on May 2, 2008. Give yourself the treat of enjoying the cafe…

  • Almost Spring

    I begin to believe that spring is almost here when the daffodils start coming up. We still have several feet of snow in the yard, but around the house it’s melting out. The poor things have to fight their way through the masses of snow we received this winter – but up they come! I…

  • Alaska Fiber Festival

    Sarah and I were invited to join the greatest group of gals for the opening night of the Alaska Fiber Festival in downtown Anchorage, Alaska. Here’s Sarah Raffuse signing a book for Lee.It was just so wonderful to see the artistic ladies who organize this awesome event and it was so nice that they remembered…

  • The Eagles have Landed

    Here are some eagles looking for food. The little bird in the middle is a dwarfed by the eagles. The dark eagles are immature eagles; they have not developed the white feathers around their head and feet. They have sort of speckled brown feathers. The larger black birds in the photo below are ravens. Here…

  • Just across the alley outside the garage door….

    Is a vacant lot (sort of, it has an abandoned cabin on it) that attracts bunnies and moose! Almost every winter we get moose there, they love the alders that grow on the property. I was feeding the bunnies that visit me and saw the moose settled down for the night.

  • Seward Winter Sunset

    At the end of our short downtown street is Resurrection Bay. It’s quite lovely all year around and it’s larger than it looks here. We have small pleasure boats, yachts, fishing vessels, cruise ships, tugs and barges all the time. As I turn toward the south, here’s the view. You can’t see the bay opening…

  • Oahu, Hawaii Feb. 2008

    We are back from 5 luscious days on Oahu! Seward was at about zero degrees and we were thrilled to be able to take a break from the cold and enjoy the beaches of Oahu. We stayed in Honolulu, a block from Waikiki Beach, but our wonderful friend Denise, who lives in Kailua, showed us…

  • Travel the States

    I also love to travel the rest of the states. I grew up in new england and have taken train trips from Florida to Connecticut, and from New York City to San Francisco to San Diego & L.A. and back to N.Y.C. via Kansas and Missouri. I’ve flown into Detroit and driven to Oshkosh and…

  • Moving to Seward, Alaska

    In 2000 I moved to Seward, after living in Anchorage since 1978. What a change! When I came to Anchorage at the end of the pipeline construction phase the population was just at 100,000 and dropping. After living in an east coast city of millions, it was a refreshing change. By 2000 the population was…
