It seems like forever since I posted. I thought it might have been the entire summer, but when I checked the date of my last post it turns out it has only been a month. But a month in bloggerland js a long time.
I have been quilting, but 2 of the quilts I finished are gifts. Can't share those yet. I have also been working on my silk opus.
I need to finish it by November 10th. That will be the debut of my "Sensational Silk" lecture at Penn Oaks Quilt Guild. I want to share all the different ways that dupioni silk can be used for quilting. The guild meets in Malvern at The Frazier Mennonite Church. It's a very friendly group so if you're in the area, come out and see my quilts. For more info, check out their website: www.PennOaksQuiltGuild.org
I have also been having a lot of fun getting dirty rehabbing a property that my son and DIL bought. I'm the fixer of odds and ends. It's a house with lots of character that was built in 1875. It's in Wilmington, DE. If you're familiar with the area, it's near Rodney Square.
Front foyer.
Does anyone know anything about this tile?
It was used to seal off a fireplace.
And believe it or or, it was Henry's first birthday. Where did the year go? My DIL made him a fish themed party. She gave me a couple of tie dyed t shirts with directions on how to decorate them.
Does the fish look familiar? It's a baby shower quilt left over.

And one more t shirt, just in case the first one gets dirty.
And of course that is going to happen when there is a smash cake!
So what motivated me to blog today of all days? Our annual Fall vacation. I want to make sure I can share the photos with you.
Where are we going, you ask?
Bali!
It's a Textile Tour with lots of learning about batiks, making of batiks and buying of batiks. What could be better?
I will definitely share photos.
