I'm still in San Juan Bautista (until Monday). Today we changed out some of the quilts Mary has hanging. Usually they hang about three months, but I haven't been up for a while so it has been almost five months. I needed to have "A Rash of Flamingoes" back to have it appraised before it goes to the Vermont Quilt Festival in June. In its place we have hung Judith Content's all silk quilt "Cataclysm" which she made while thinking about the eruption of the volcano Krakatoa in the South Pacific in 1883. There is a wonderful book about the volcano written by Simon Winchester. The eruption was so enormous that it changed the climate around the world for a number of years.
The silk charmeuse reflects the light which gives the quilt a lovely glow.
We had a delicious dinner of salmon cakes, little baked yellow potatoes and one of Mary's special green salads with avocado, grapes, tangerines, and her super vinaigrette dressing. This is a GREAT B&B!
I am thinking of driving over to Asilomar tomorrow afternoon to say hello to the ladies at Empty Spools. If you see me in my yellow hat, say Hello!
