Valentina is here
Warren and Cia's baby arrived on Wednesday about 4:00 pm. Mom and baby are healthy. Her name is Valentina, and she is 6 lbs 14 oz, 18" long. 
She has that "what just happened?" look on her tiny face. I assume that is her dad's thumb she is clutching.
This is one of the first photos. I actually created this post before the previous one, on her birth date, but when I edited it, the date automatically changed to the current date. It didn't used to do that. Arrrgh.

Artful Walk on the Venta Spur trail
I took a great walk today on the path right near my house. It's one of the things I like about Irvine: lots of beautiful walking trails.
There are lots of gates along this path, but I think this is the most artful.
Salvia, right? 
The trail ends at Jeffrey Road and is about 50 minute walk around trip from my house. It also goes in the other direction all the way to the 134. The space used to have a minor railway, when we moved here in 1978. It became this lovely, narrow park in the 90's, as I recall. 
I saw several squirrels on this walk. Not a rabbit in sight! They used to multiple like, you know what, but the coyotes have been getting them. 
One of many Irvine trails, but it is lovely, shaded, and convenient.

QuiltFest Oasis!
If you're going to Quiltfest Oasis in Palm Springs later this week, look for my quilt in the Oasis exhibit.
I call it "Oasis in the Time of Drought."
THIS WEEK!

I won a ribbon at my guild's show
I was surprised and pleased that my quilt "Flower Frenzy" won a ribbon: first place contemporary, individual! This happened at the Flying Geese Quilt Show, aka Harvest of Quilts this past weekend at Soka University in Aliso Viejo.
This was the quilt I made for the Sizzix blog hop last Spring. All the flowers and leaves were made on a Sizzix die cutting machine.

Circle skirt
I just made this circle skirt for my granddaughter Sammy to wear for Halloween. She is obsessed with cats, and the Simplicity pattern had a kitty version, in addition to the usual poodle. 
It comes with petticoat directions. What do you think? Do you think it is needed?
Curious Matilda had to come take a look.
