Hello Quilt Friends!
The summer sun has been heating things up around here this last week. The nights cool off so that's good! I hope you're all managing to find cool places and remembering to keep the ice trays full.
This last week we drove to West Seattle to the library there in search of and to check out, a rare textile art book, Ayako Miyawaki, The Art of Japanese Applique', published by The Asahi Shimbun and The National Museum of Women in the Arts, 1991. As you may know textile art is one of my fascinations. I found out about this book by reading Okan Arts blog post on Patricia Belyea's favorite Japanese art/design books.
While there we had to stop by Lincoln Park and Alki Beach, and eat at Spuds Fish and Chips, where the best fish and chips anywhere are served up. I grew up in West Seattle and I still enjoy visiting there.
And that is the quilt news from the valley, where I'm remembering to be thankful and progress is being made, slow but steady.
I'll stop by to visit!
