1. I saw the Head and Neck Surgeon yesterday and mine are still intact!! The CT-scan shows that I have a nasty, rotten, clogged sinus behind my nose. The others are all clear. We are trying a new kind of antibiotic and if it does not work…it is roto-rooter time. That’s right – up the nose with an endoscope-but let’s not think about that – sorry I brought it up.
2. Laume found my blog via DebR today and was amazed to see my photos of Moon Mountain. She used to live in Sonoma and went there to get a tree every year. We are talking a totally random hit on a blog which took her down memory lane. Love the serendipity of blogging.
3. Speaking of the serendipity thing. I got this e-mail today:                  Gerrie,

   I love your work and I love your rants.

   I do not know if you do commissioned work, but here goes?¢‚Ǩ¬¶.
   I am a campus minister in Mobile, Alabama.  We are completing a new building and searching for two major pieces of art.  After hours and hours and hours and hours of surfing the internet, I was overjoyed when I came to the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìquiltart?¢‚Ǩ¬ù piece you did for your church (?¢‚Ǩ?ìthe growing season?¢‚Ǩ¬ù).  I think it is more than coincidence that I stumbled across it.

   We have unique colors in our worship space/room, but I would love to see a similar quilt/banner on our accent wall.  Do you take orders?  Or do you offer a pattern.

   You can tell I am new at selecting major pieces of art, but I am not new to know what I like in a liturgical space.  The simplicity, and yet, diversity of it is perfect!

   Please help in anyway you can.

   Thank you for your time.

   Sincerely,

   Rev. Karen Koons                                                                                      I responded and asked some questions and it is going to be a go – to do another version of the Long and Narrow Quilt, which can be seen here. This will  not be long and narrow as it has to fit in a rectangular space which will require some redesigning, but I’m not good at doing the same thing over, anyway!! I am so excited. Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!

4. Remember the Bag of Stuff challenge that I did on the Quilt Art list? I made the Technicolor Sunflowers for Linda Cline who lives in the East Bay. She wrote an article about the challenge for  American Quilter magazine. We were just notified that they want the quilts for photography as the article will be published in a future issue. The quilt I made Linda and the quilt she made someone else will be featured in the article.  Here is the one I made:
5. My last blessing is the arrival next week of the whole family for Turkey Day. Steph, Jack, Mia and Milo will drive down on Tuesday so that Steph can help with the cooking – we love to cook big!! Mark will come Wednesday night. Lisa is bringing two friends and will arrive on Thursday. Whee! I can hardly wait.
