KoKo Again 08-14-23

The members of the Surfside Quilters Guild are making items to sell at the Boutique we hold during our fund raiser "November Fest". This month they are creating items for pets and they needed a model, so KoKo went to the meeting with me last Tuesday. He only had to model one item, a scarf with a channel for the collar to go through. He was okay with that, but more than anything he LOVED all the petting and loving from 100 nice quilting ladies.

I took him in his stroller and he only tried to jump out twice. With all that loving he got excited. Usually he doesn't attempt to escape.

When everyone was quiet during the presentation he just took a nap.

We did walk around the audience so they could admire his scarf. He took every opportunity to have a little lay down.

After the meeting whoever wants to goes for lunch at a nearby restaurant, in this case "Rockwell's" at the San Clemente Outlets. There were about 16 attending and since we were on the patio KoKo came along. This place has a stand at the entrance with stainless bowls and a water dispenser for doggies.

Here is my view of the table with KoKo sitting on my lap before our meal.

When our food was served KoKo stretched our under my chair and this was his view of the table!!!

12"X12" Quilts in the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection 3 08-13-23

Here is another set of three by one artist. The art of Linda Colsh just fascinates me, there are five of her quilts in the Collection. These 12"X12" quilts are from the SAQA auction, but three different years. When Linda made these she live in Belgium and did her dyeing, printing, screening, etc. outside in the summer and fall when there was no snow! Her old ladies and other images are from photos she took in Europe. Several years ago she and her husband moved back to the east coast of the USA where they originated. Her current work reflects that change of location.
