Ranchos Church by Georgia O'Keeffe


Ranchos Church
Circa 1930, by Georgia O'Keeffe (American, 1887 - 1986). Oil on canvas, 24x36 inches. at The Phillips Collection in Washington DC

sent to Anthony in Canada! He asked for music recommendations, so of course I wrote him Big Mama Thornton, my favorite blues artist. I've also been listening to a lot of latin pop lately, like Pierdo la Cabeza and Sigueme te Sigo.

Signature quilt block swap

More fabric for my quilt!

from Use Kayenderes in Canada, who also sent a Halloween ATC

From user Honeybeebzz in Wisconsin, who also sent me some fabric for my quilt!


I can't decide if I should use these signature blocks in my quilt around the world. I think I will.
What else will I put them in?

Apparently this company published picture postcards from 1902 - 1914 (source).

sent from Vancouver on April 23, 1910 to Wisconsin.

The torn-up back is why people should never glue postcards into scrapbooks. Grr.

Wackystuff, indeed

Another postcard from wackystuff in Canada.
(He sent this one back when I lived in Nebraska)
I love the stamps on the new one^.

So I made a strange postcard to send back to him today:
they are images cut from 3 different magazines, pasted onto an old ad-card.
I wrote a quote on the back:
"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect." - Chief Seattle, 1854
