Monthly Archives: June 2010 It’s been over a week now, and all I can say is I miss this blog. Truth is, I’ve been busy, very busy. You see, I’ve set aside these two weeks to take care of my father’s house and belongings. It’s been hard being here, I keep on expecting him to how up all shocked...

oh, this makes me cry.

Oh Robin, just know that we’ll keep a light on ’til you return. Thinking of you and glad that the neighbors are rallying round.

Robin, Thanks for letting us know that you are ok. I was starting to wonder where you were. Take care and know that I am thinking of you and send warm hugs.

I’ve been thinking about you and hoping you were just really busy with something—and not being tooo sad. I know the sadness comes and goes– take care of yourself, but know that we do miss you. cathi  Just a quick pic of a recent trip to the shore… shot in bokeh, I wanted to capture that blurred dreamy feeling you get when you allow your eyes to unfocus for a moment. Summer is like that for me… I allow myself to blur my vision from time to time, and relax my mind... by robin 1 comment

Love. This!  Two things I most enjoy about summer are summer reads and summer games. The read, finished far too quickly, was “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” by Garth Stein. I cannot describe it more perfectly than the author did: “A heart-wrenching but deeply funny and ultimately uplifting story of family, love, loyalty, and hope,... by robin 3 comments

I read The Art of Racing in the Rain a few months after losing a much beloved dog, and I cried so hard. I thought I was the only person who left my TV on all day for him while I was gone to work. My mother used to play dominoes in a club, their favorite game was “Mexican Train”, I wonder if it’s the same game you’re describing here? Oh, and I love your elements quilt!

My family loves these dominos also. We combined two sets and have to clear the living room floor since the table is just too small. It’s a kick to see the kids and adults crawling all around on their hands and knees playing this game. So much better than any sort of electronic entertainment.

For a breezy read that will make you laugh I like the Valentine series by Adrianna Trigliani: Very Valentine and Brava Valentine. The protagonist is funny, smart and she is an artist — a shoe designer to be exact. Right now I am enjoying Zahrah the Windseeker by Nnedi Okorafor-Mbachu. It is about a young African girl who is born different from the rest of the people in her village and yet she learns to stand in her own power. Happy summer reading!  Hot off the press, my latest quilt. As explained yesterday, I’m thrilled with the direction of this new work. It represents a departure from my old work, significant enough to give me new ideas to work from. I hope you too enjoy this piece, and if you are interested in purchasing it, please contact me... by robin 8 comments

I love this quilt. The colors, the quilting, the overall design. It’s wonderful.

Robin, this is LOVELY! The colors just sing! I love that red stripe on the right surrounded by turquoise.

I love this piece. Even though I can appreciate the work that goes into them, I don’t usually “get” these kinds of pieces. Not that I have to, but your posting the picture that was the inspiration for this piece actually gave me a “DUH” moment. I enjy your postings. I check for them every day.

Robin, This is wonderful! You really captured the depth of the pile of twigs. Way to go! Have a great rest of the week.

I like this piece, especially when you consider the size. Some of those pieces are pretyy small. Do you sew them all or do you do some fusing too?

Hurray!!! More Robin eye candy to get inspired by. Thanks for sharing this, and it is sensational, as usual!  The kids and I have been tromping around in the woods lately. It gives them a chance to run around and explore, and it gives me the chance to take a few more pictures. Lately I’ve been noticing leaf-litter. More than likely it’s because I’ve been hanging my head. Why do people do that? Our... by robin no comments |
