Uncle Kenny & Anny Donna picked Huckleberries.
Brad hiked around Roman Nose Lake.
I picked botanicals and pressed them in a phone book.
The next day we had an all-day textile arts workshop:

10 days on the road and we pulled down our driveway at 5pm tonight. It is good to be home. Once the bags are unpacked and the mail is sorted I will put together a slideshow of our wonderful workshop. The students created some incredible textile art. I will share it with you soon!

The quilts I create are very much inspired by my life here on the farm and by my family. Every time I see an image of a bear, I think of my oldest son, Nicholas. I call him my "Big Bear." His childhood room was all decorated with bears.
I also think of apple pie when I think of Nicholas. Like all self-respecting mothers, I have been known to use food to bribe my kids to come home and see me! Nicholas lives in town now, and we sure miss him.

Nicholas & Me
My husband is also an apple pie lover. When the boys were young and there was a fresh apple pie on the table.........it wasn't safe for long! The kids would come in the door with the neighbor boys and inhale the pie along with a gallon of milk.I eventually learned to bake 2 pies........one for the kids.......and one for my husband to hide!
This was made in 2001. It is one of the first original quilts that I designed. My favorite part is the bear paw blocks set on point that travel around the outer border. It is Nicholas' graduation quilt.........."Big Bear"
Bonners Ferry Library, Bonners Ferry, Idaho
My son's love of bears inspired me to make his graduation quilt. I will always think of him whenever I see a bear.
Wishing You a Lifetime of Inspiration,

Fond Memories
I traveled by train from Oregon to Idaho to attend the Bossom Buddies quilters retreat. In a small duffel bag I packed a few clothes. In a BIG suitcase I packed fabrics and quilt projects I had in progress and planned to work on. For 3 days I listened to the hum of sewing machines, dined on delectable treats, was inspired by the work of traditional and art quilters, listened to laughter, made new friends and new memories.
Click on the photos to enlarge them.....
One of my fondest memories is waking up early each morning and sewing in my jammies with my Anny Donna. My aunt lives in Idaho, I live in Oregon. She is my Quilting Guru......my Quilting Kindred Spirit. She has taught me more about life than she will ever know. I am a better person when I am with her.
My aunt is a member of the Idaho Bossom Buddies group. These talented quilters create comfort quilts for women diagnosed with breast cancer. They host several retreats each year to work on their own personal projects and spend quilty time together. I have come to know these outstanding women and have learned something from each and every one of them. I thank them for their generous spirit and creative nature.
