Have not been able to blog since last week. On Thursday my dear friend Mabel Huseby of Mt. Vernon, WA, died. She had been diagnosed with colon cancer in July, had surgery, went through two sessions of chemo therapy pills and ended up back in the hospital. It was just too much for her, she was 89. We met in 1999 at Empty Spools Seminars at Asilomar and just hit it off as good friends. We started writing e-mails back and forth every evening in 2010, so we were very connected in our every day lives. There is such a huge empty place in my life I am having a hard time adjusting. I last saw her in August 2019 when I drove up and spent a couple weeks there, including five days at a class with Sue Benner at the Coupeville Art Center and KoKo stayed with Mabel and Mac in Mt. Vernon. We had planned another visit for May 2020, but that didn't work out due to the Virus. Thought about going in October, but it didn't look much better than the May trip. So now I will never see her again and I just can't get my mind around that.
Just a week before I had gone to Oceanside Museum of Art to see the Southern California Contemporary Quilt exhibit so I have pictures of that that I want to post. I'll try to do that soon.
