Lunch of cream cheese and lox bagel for me, BLT for Pete at Moosley Bagels overlooking the lake. The choice of breads and fillings ridiculously wide; wheat, rye, white, bagels with sun dried tomatoes, onions, potato, jalapeño and more! Stuffed again.
We went to the quilt shop which didn't disappoint. Pete was impressed too! So many sizes, shapes and so many different colourways. Sadly too bulky to take home and the prices were high, rightly so considering the work that goes into them. I asked if the owner gave classes and she said twice a year many quilters come from other states and get together to share ideas and techniques with anyone who wants to learn. Something I would love to join in on but I know my sewing skills are lacking so I wouldn't get very far.
Library again to get online and check in with mum's carers' and my sister's updates. And also to put the blog online and I fear I am doubling/tripling up my photos!
The weather is warming again and should be sunny tomorrow. More and more trees catch your eye as you travel around, some positively luminous in the grey light. The maples seem to be the best of course. One tree alone having colours from yellow through pink to orange like a flame and that, set alongside a deep red maple, is a rich treat to behold. No wonder so many of the quilts we saw are constructed with these colours - it is a vast palette to work with.
