Here is one side of the yard, with a view overlooking the Columbia River. I built the arbor this summer using Western Red Cedar. I like the way it turned out. The climbing rose growing on it is a David Austen rose, "Teasing Georgia".

Here is a photo of my house, which I recently put up for sale. It is one of 7 homes which were built in 1926 as houses for the supervisors on the Lake Chelan Dam project. My home was the head electrician's home.

Here is my latest quilt, "Sheer Moonlight".
This quilt was made for the 2006 IQA Silent Auction. It measures 8-1/2 x 11" and is made with cotton and sheer fabrics. It is machine appliqued and quilted, and embellished with beads.

The wavy "stripes" are actually sheer fabric. This quilt looks best when hung where the light can filter through it. This is the first quilt I have worked on in over 9 months. It felt good to start creating again.
