This is not one of my quilts. This was a sample in a quilt fabric shop; I just can’t remember which one.
Ah, so many quilt fabric shops, so little time.

Oil Lamp, Sketch 096
When I started sketching, I discovered that I had a heavy hand: all my lines were deep and dark; hard to erase. I’ve worked on changing that, and now I find that I have to re-do many, if not all, lines in my sketches because they are too light and don’t show up well in photos. It’s always something!

Moon and Martin House
We have Purple Martins this year; first time ever. Hubby put up the houses every spring and every year they stayed empty. This spring hubby is happy.

Copper Lamp, Sketch 095
I really like this lamp. It could go in a Hobbit or Fairy House. I didn’t make the base of the lampshade wide enough in my sketch.
by Dirk Van Erp, California circa 1912-1915; Copper base, mica and copper shade

Wait Till Next Year
One peach. Looking at our two peach trees, that’s the total number of peaches I found yesterday. The trees bloomed so beautifully this spring and then we had a late, hard freeze for a couple of nights. And now we have one peach.
It will be a beautiful peach, I’m sure, once it ripens. I’m just as sure the birds will get to it before we do. As they say in baseball: Wait till next year.
