from an interview in the Shore Lines, Oct. 1996 : The Colvin home
on North Beach, bright and airy, was constructed on a lot Bill’s
father purchased 30 years ago. The family traveled up from California
to enjoy the beach in summers, and built their present home to inhabit
full-time in the mid-80’s. |
Joan Colvin
began specializing in quilt artistry in 1988 and has evolved into a
richly creative artist and teacher of the art, having produced a line
of work that could rest easily in museums anywhere. Although she dedicates
most of her time to her own creations, she is regularly invited by quilt
art guilds around the country to lecture and give workshops. Joan encourages
aspiring quilters not to disconnect from the deeply-rooted American
history of quilt-making, an art that pioneer women coould pursue into
the long, dark prairie nights. So lovely were some of those early patchwork
quilts that descendants lifted them from the beds to hang on their walls, SPORTS IN THE NEWS: This had to be volleyball player Danielle Nordlund’s month in the Skagit Valley Herald. Pictured on Sept. 14th dramatically jumping up for a kill, her performance was also noted on 5 other dates. On Oct. 3 she was quoted several times with respect to B.-Eds victory over Mount Vernon because “It was a huge deal —we’re big rivals.” A stellar SOOTHING WATERS season has just concluded. My sincere gratitude is extended to all who have taken part in my offerings --from the depths of Watsu sessions, to the SVC Warm Water Bodywork classes, to the preciousness of the Aqua Babies and beginning swimmers— my life is truly enhanced by your presence. Thank you so much! Liz Bart, www.soothingwaters.net Interested in Stitch, Knit and Chat? Friday, October 19th 3:30 to 5:30 pm at the home of Janene Kenaston, 11543 BlueHeron Rd.

PINAFORE. AhoyMateys! 3 Samish Islanders are in the cast of Skagit
Opera’s production at McIntyre Hall. This is a rollicking, zany
comedy by Gilbert and Sullivan. Gary Ramey plays a supporting role as
the Boatswain in charge of the ship’s crew. Ginny Ramey and Sarah
Huntington are part of the entourage that accompanies the very pompous
First Lord of the Admiralty wherever he goes. Pinafore is a delightful
comedy about love, and a wonderful spoof of the English class system.
Performances this Friday and Saturday evenings (7:30), and Sunday matinee
Oct. 14 at 2pm. For more information or tickets go to skagitopera.org
