"Late Autumn" 09-14-07
"Red Hot Peppers" 09-13-07
I used a different method for the corners of the binding. Something I read about in Robin Ferrier's Blog for June 20, 2007 http://quiltantics.blogspot.com/2007/06/art-quilt-binding.html I think it does make a neater finish and I found it took less time than doing the mitre or even the blunt ends.
At Corky's house #2 09-11-07
I was really feeling my age on Tuesday - I locked my keys in the van! This is the second time this year and I hadn't done that for about twenty years. I now need to focus just on what I am doing at all times, no more task stacking for me. I am fortunate to have Corky's unconditional love, even if I am old and forgetful we have a good time together.

At Corky's house in Long Beach, CA
More Pacific Grove
I haven't gotten the binding on the little quilt for Beach Cities QGuild, so I haven't taken any pictures.
So here is one from Pacific Grove. This wonderful butterfly covered moose is in the front yard of a house on Asilomar Drive, just across the street from the Bide-a-Wee Motel!
I was told that the man who lives in the house bid on the moose at auction somewhere back east. When he won the bid he had the moose crated and shipped to his Pacific Grove home at a cost of something over $1000! Considering that PGrove is the home of the Monarch Butterflies, it seems appropriate that this fellow should be there. His blue eye shadow is nice, but his varied socks are a knock out! Here is a closer look.
