Today, I got to spend the day with women. Good day! And I got to be creative. Even better! Continue reading
Quilt workshop, and elections
Back before I flew out to Oregon in September, I signed up to participate in a quilt workshop put on by the Trillium Quilt Guild today.

I’m excited about my new job coming up in March and seeing my family and Oregon friends before that, but I have made some really good friends here that I hate to say goodbye to. Continue reading
Thanks to the PBC quilt group!
In the last two days I have been overwhelmed by the kindness of my quilt group from Peninsula Bible Church. The church is in Palo Alto, and I’m thinking that most of the women in the group also live there. Continue reading
