Okay, I'll work on figuring out some embellishments for one quilt that's basically done, except for the edging...seems too plain as a simple Irish Chain. Then I'll try to finally finish a big scenic one I've messed with for years. This is the view of Cascade Head I see when I hike about three miles north along a little spine of land between the ocean and part of the Salmon River basin. I need to add bits of white detail for the crests of waves and some accent trees, but have been reluctant to take the plunge! I fear ruining the entire quilt, so keep putting it off, plus there are all those swell volunteer activities I'm involved in, plus real work on a new book. That project is at the most exciting point: after over a year of editing, rewriting, and editing, etc., etc., we're ready to start arranging the stunning photos and text on the pages. We're trying to outdo the last really beautiful book we published, a tall hill to climb.
