A Different Kind of Fiber?

Just so there's a little knitting content, here's Simon and his little friend,
who wears a knitted sweater. This little cat looks a lot like Simon, which is why when I picked him up from a vendor's table (at a Barbie show/sale, of all places) I couldn't put him down. He came home as a surprise for Himself--stood him up on the nightstand while H was sleeping. Simon does like him, too!

Took an "early weekend" to head to San Diego for their annual Quilt Show. We stayed at a very nice Marriott--here's the view from our 19th floor room:

And some of the quilts we saw at the show. There were some truly spectacular ones, but I decided not to post ALL my pictures. The moose is for you-know who, and I hope he's enjoying a lot of moose-watching now!

Fuschias are one of my favorite flowers. I can't grow them here, too hot and dry. I might have to make some fabric ones myself--whaddya think??

Autumn leaves. My very favorite time of the year, at least it used to be. Maybe it will be again, who knows? I have some great fabrics to make an autumn-leaves quilt, and maybe that will be a good way to work out some of the feelings.

Of course, first I need to locate the sewing table and make it useful. That was one of my goals for this weekend. So far, though, I've not had the energy. Maybe tomorrow? After all, as Scarlett said, tomorrow is another day; I'll think about that tomorrow!
Happy Labor Day weekend to all!
