Re: Quilts
Wow guys that picture of? your graduation from Roosevelt is priceless.
We lived behind my fathers shop on thirteenth ave when I went to Franklin Elementary then moved and I went to Webster? out on 80th and then moved again so I went to West Lake jr High and then Oakland High.? Funny how our lives have been intermixed and yet dispersed at the same time. ?? I do remember fondly Gary's dads store near Franklin, but I didn't? go to Roosevelt.? We moved. You all look wonderfull to me in that picture.?? The pictures of the quilts and all is food for this old sole. -Stephen Hatch |

Re: Collections
Gary, Loved seeing some of Shirley 's quilts.?? That bread box is exquisite.? It looks like it belongs in a church. You have some beautiful antiques.? Did you find them in Europe and have them shipped to your home? I don't have most of the quilts that I have made here.? Most of them go to their new homes as soon as they are finished. I like to make them but don't have any interest in collecting them.? My family are happy to take them off my hands. I will be bringing some back from my home in Mexico.? You could come by and see those. At one time, I drove a school bus.? I had Fred Biletnikof's son on my? bus.? He was a nice little boy. I have a bonus daughter that lives in San Ramon.?? Her house goes up for sale Thursday. They want to move to Sacramento to be closer to their GC. Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Re: More play during the lock down
Steve,
I will be staying on my middle daughter's property outside of Clayton, CA.? My quilting studio is there.? Youngest daughter lives about 20 minutes away. Oldest daughter (the one with all the Friesian horses) lives now in Modesto which is about 1.25 hours away.? She just had open heart surgery to replace her aortic valve.? I am trying to go there twice a week to help her.? That coupled with the two days a week that I take care of a GGD, keep me busy & hopefully out of trouble.
I will have to make one more trip to my home in MX to get my personal belongings.? The house is being sold furnished which is the norm there. Family is one of the biggest reasons I am giving up my home in MX but I will miss it terribly.

Re: More play during the lock down
Thanks, Gary.? I would love to see pics of Shirley's antique quilts.? I have some old quilt tops I bought on eBay that are all hand pieced.? I intend to quilt them up so they can be used.? I was going to give them to my girls but they seem to prefer the ones I make from scratch. I think they like the bright colors I use. Lately,? I have kind of gotten sidetracked with knitting which I do from time to time but I always go back to quilting.
Let's start a new subject.? Post a picture of your hobby &/or interest with an explanation & maybe a mention of city & state where you now reside.? Claire, let's see some pics of your dogs, past/present.? Tell us about the breed.? Wasn't there someone who carved or collected duck decoys?? Let's see a picture.? I think there is a whole lot of interesting things going on in your lives.
