In June 1987, while on home leave from my job in Tokyo, I walked into The Quilt Patch in Fairfax, Virginia, marking the first of many trips I would make to quilt shops around the world. At that time the shop was filled with navy, dusty rose, pine green, burgundy and brown calicos. Jinny Beyer had a massive line of basics and border prints but the colors were extremely traditional and the prints were primarily just 2-3 color prints in 1″ repeats.The fabrics did not speak to me at the time
Yesterday was my day off this week and I spent it in slovenly leisure. :) Knitted a bit, watched the last two episodes of Foyle's War, generally worked on staying indoors and in the air conditioning. Was hot yesterday (about 97 degrees F.) but is HOT today at 102 degrees F (forecast).
I finished knitting up my sherbert colored cotton shawlette using the pattern

Actually it has been even longer that a long time between posts! At first I felt guilty for not posting ... then after a while I almost forgot about blogging altogether ... except for the many emails that I have received checking up to make sure we are OK. All has been well ... just very, very busy ... combined with a little blog overload.
So much has happened in the last 7 months ... fabric ....
... only one new quilt
... but its a pretty good
