pond quilt is finished

fergus!

luke and i went to montana this weekend to see fergus (and catherine and tim, of course). he's a darling, to be sure.
with the new quilt!

the best offense is a good defense

i like this crazy skirt designed to hide the wearer from possible attackers. just an innocent vending machine... nothing to see here...

the deep

i really want this cool book - the deep, by claire nouvian - it's full of photos of crazy looking deep sea creatures. if i can figure out how to preserve their transparency and luminosity, i'd love to use them for a quilt design... i mean, look at that the one that looks like giant lips wrapped in christmas lights!
check out the book here (although it's cheaper to buy it on amazon).

cool swedish fabric

check out mairo for cool fabrics from sweden. they're not that easy to find for sale in the u.s., but they do have them here.

pek at virginia beach

we went to virginia beach this weekend, and, of course, pek came along. dogs are allowed on the beach after labor day, so he was able to have his first ocean experience. he loved it.

it has been pointed out to me that i'm not really on top of this whole blogging thing. i've been busy quilting! i'm almost done with the pond quilt for wee fergus - photos soon. anyway, i'll try to be better with posts. here are a couple of things that i found during my lunch break today:
