More soon.Another book is brewing maybe, sharing the family history research of the Crystal family and Rabinowitz family in the Old Country.  Love Sara

carry on

  Well, friends, the holidays have come and gone. The good news is no flu,no bronchitis this year.
That is just great. The bad news is,  several friends and family very sick or passing away. I try to carry on creatively. I have a quilt in the Alameda County Arts Commission Show,"Revels with Matisse." I have posted it here before.I made it for my great aunt Hope's 100th birthday, and borrowed it back to show. Thanks, Lydia, for lending it back to me. I am working on a few things, finishing my doggie quilt and "Under African Skies", a house quilt. In Africa some places the women paint abstract designs on the front of their houses. Today I hope to make a wooly jacket. I had some silk and wool and I overdyed them faded turquoise. Coming up soon, the Fruit of the Spirit workshops and the East Bay Heritage Quilters show. My back has been bad this week after I caught a patient who was falling. Ouch. I have been rereading Anne Mc-Caffrey and Charlaine Harris. I still want to do some dog fostering but needed to care for the problems Fairy the dog had first.   I have been working my way thru some storage clutter, trying to clean up and reclaim my back room.I hope to open my Etsy store soon. Love ,Sara
