Blue Alaska!
I love living in Alaska! I’ve lived here 35 years and traveled the state quite a bit, but I’m not done yet. There’s just too much to see, from the islands of the Aleutian Chain (next year’s trip, I’ve promised myself!) to the northern Arctic Wildlife Refuge to the islands of the south east panhandle.…

Driving to Alaska
I just finished my spring trip home, to Alaska, and wanted to share some pics with my friends. This was a 3,740 mile trip and I took it in three stages. Just to give you some perspective, this is about the distance of going from San Diego, California to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Next time…

Quilt As You Go in Alaska
Hi Quilters, I’m freezing my toes off in Anchorage, planning some quilting classes and events for the summer – from Anchorage to Valdez, and maybe even Cordova! If you’ve quilted with Sarah or I in the past, and would like to see the new quilts in person or take an updated techniques class, drop me…

Meeting Friends
This is a long story that started with trying to get caught up on my ‘not related to quilting’ list. I’ve always admired well put together newsletters that I receive, mostly from quilters and shops but also from other businesses that I like or use often, and I’ve wanted to create my own for years.…

What a Great Day!
Tom and I drove to Homer today (and back) about a 340 mile trip, to get things for the boat. Fishing season is almost here and he has been working on the boat daily. On the way there I saw the most beautiful drake in a pond, several moose, many eagles, a few run down…

Spring in Seward, Alaska
Yes, this is spring in Alaska. See the pretty flowers; the sunshine? Me neither! LOL Someone please remind me why I live here? If you look closely you can see Tan Bunny just to the right of the feeder that Tom built. It sits across the alley from his house, on Barb’s property. She loves…

Snowboard Kiting
I had no idea………. I was driving my granddaughter Audrey to Girdwood (from Seward) to meet up with my daughter Sarah and send the baby home (she’d been with me since Friday afternoon). As we drive through Portage, a desolate windy no-mans-land known for accidents because of the windblown icy highway, what do we see…

Death Valley and Los Algodones, Mexico
Death Valley was awesome! It was a trip Tom and I have talked about and finally just said “let’s just go!” Wow! He was a braver soul than I and he did a bit of hiking. I could barely move in the heat. In the photo with people, we are at the lowest point, about…

Tundra Swans and Cygnets
I love learning new things and that’s one reason that I subscribe to the Alaska Science Forum Newsletter . Today’s newsletter was about Tundra Swans and it included this photo by Ned Rozell, who often writes the newsletter and supplies the photos. I learn something new with every edition, and am never bored. Aren’t these…
