Patti's Gift of Quilt


Patti made this beautiful quilt and learned how to use her embroidery elements to her  new sewing machine on it. Notice the blue flower on the right hand side that sewn at the intersection of four squares.   Quite amazing.  It's hanging in our guest bath because I thought the green wall made a wonderful backdrop.  Just can't get quite enough away from it to get the whole quilt in my camera lens.

Pics from Xmas 2011

Here are some pics from Patti.



Here are some pics from Molly.






We had a nice time in Charleston visting the Browns but I never took my camera out. Perhaps later I'll get some of Molly's pics but in the meantime here are pics I took from Facebook.



Here are some pics from my home office that got a facelift - wood floor and wall sconces.  More to follow in the next month.

VOICES concert


Our Voices (formerly CHCC) concert was Friday night and Saturday afternoon.  There is a detailed review  available. Moody loved it as well as the 12 other folks from our block who came Saturday afternoon.  It was all Latino/Carribean/Argentine music, mostly in Spanish with great percussion including a steel drum.  We sold more tickets than budgeted which is nice.

Today, Moody and I went to Amahl and the Night Visitors which had many of my Durham Savoyard friends in it.  It was also wonderful.  It was produced by the Long Leaf Opera Company which is going out of business this summer.

Birthday Visitors

ML and Georgia came for a 2-night visit to help us celebrate my 59th Bday. She wanted me to be sure to remind folks that I have a few menus on my cookbook blog.
