Here is my first baby quilt…sandwiched together and ready for some quilting and binding… my camera phone does it no justice, I tel ‘ya. I’ve decided to hand-tie the little nugget. I love the fabrics, they’re 1930 reproduction designs(except for the red) … I love the farmhouse/schoolbook look. I wish you could see the red fabric….it has sunny side up eggs all over. It shouldn’t be a late nite at work today so hope to get close to done with this tonight.
Song lyrics on the drive in reminded me of when we didn’t have 24-hour broadcast days…TV just went off the air after Wolfman Jack’s Midnight Special or Don Kirschner’s Rock Concert.
When I went to college at Humboldt State in 1985, the Eureka station signed off after Johnny Carson, leaving all of us Letterman fans hanging. The student body petitioned the station and we got Letterman, but the footage of boats in the Humboldt Bay were hypnotizing us within seconds after the show ended.

I’ve sent my camera off to hospital. In the meantime I realized I have this freakin’ camera on my phone…and I just figured out how to send a pic to my email! woohoo. These may not be as lovely as my Sony Cyber Shots’ images, but will have to do in the meantime. I’ve been sewing up a storm and dying to take some pics. I’m off to the fabric store at lunch to find some binding for my first ever baby quilt. I’ll post pics when I’m done. I shot this image to test out my camera phone… this is just a small portion of a painting by a friend of mine, it hangs at the foot of my bed and the first thing I see every morning…it’s so very sweet. Last week DH and I were at a local cafe for dinner and a 2 year-old in the next booth was all bathed and in his footie pajamas. It took me way back to going to the drive-in during the summer months between 5 and 8 years old. My sister and I would take our baths, slipped on our pajamas and loaded in the station wagon. We would back into our spot, hook up our crackly tinny speakers and watch the movie on our bellies. The car smelled of Ivory soap, popcorn and line dried blankets.
