Quilt Show - Mariposa Piece Makers, Butterfly Days May 3, 2014 California

Lovely Quilts were on display at the Mariposa County Historical Museum, Central California.  They were sewn by members of the Mariposa Piece Makers.  This is just one of the celebrations that is part of the Annual Butterfly Days, the first weekend in May.

The museum is great place for outdoor displays of these handmade quilts.

This white picket fence is a unique way to display small quilt hangings.

Scottie dogs are always popular.

Right near the History Center riders are preparing for the Butterfly Days parade.

Message from Paris France on 1908 postcard

Dear Louise,

    Here we are in Paris (Doesn't that have a grand sound)  Spend all our time sightseeing.  It has rained a good deal but there is so much to see inside in the way of galleries museums etc that theres plenty to do.  The stores too are fascinating to me.

A deck with a View and a Kindle in my hand.

Not much to report on this lovely April day.  View from my back deck where I like to sit with my coffee and watch the birds, play with the cat and read my Kindle.  I am just starting a novel about Quilting.  It is called A Single Thread (cobbled Court Quilt Series) by Marie Bostwick. I love to be able to read on all my electronic devices.
