procrastination potholders

These are fun to make with my fabric scraps. A great way to break from the tedium of sewing together all the Kirby Quilt squares. (Also my quilt group is helping with tthe sewing.) I'm nearly done shooting and printing for the Kirby Quilt. I only have 4 sheets of type 55 left, and onereclusive individual that I'm trying to sweet talk. It's almost impossible to shoot portraits outside with a 4 x5 right now in Vermont. Also to blueprint. Sewing is the order of the season.

Happy Christmas!

Three Christmas photos from the low country. South Carolina has the longest deer season in the country. It starts in August and continues through New Year's. Of course you might opt for duck hunting instead. Either way, it's refreshing to have a pimento cheese sandwhich after you've cleaned up.

Autumn in Vermont

Nice Kirby family with Halloween decorations.

emotional baggage

I made this bag for my grandmother. After she died my brother ended up snagging it. It came back last summer in a huge bag of discards and hand me downs that his wife sent to me.

autumnal images

Fall in Vermont is fleeting. Here are two pictures that I shot for the quilt only about a month ago. Now it is so cold that I can't stand outside with a camera for long without thinking that I'm going to get frostbite. These women are some of Kirby's movers and shakers. Longtime (perhaps lifelong) residents.

An endless ode to type 55!

As I mentioned, I'm still going through a mourning process. This one was shot at an elementary school's Valentine's Day dance. Jonesville, South Carolina. I now live in a place where you could never photograph outside on V.D..

Fairly Fantastic!

Still involved in the stages of grief associated with mourning. Here are photos from the 2006 Caledonia County Fair. It was just expensive then, not endangered. This family sells to Organic Valley.
