First time out of the gate....

My niece Julia Marshall has helped me set up this blog-correction: she set up the blog and I watched. Hopefully as I write more and become more adept, this endeavor won't be write so painful and I can take Julia's number off speed dial. I am fascinated by the blog concept but frankly find the word blog ugly and prefer online diary. So much for semantic niceties.

I know, this next info isn't about quilting but I'm easing into this thing, getting the lay of the land. So, living in coastal North Carolina, I'm always aware of the weather and the nearby (less than a block-) Atlantic Ocean. For all water lovers, here's a nice picture I took last April of a shrimper at rest in the harbor of a down east fishing village, Atlantic, North Carolina. Enjoy.
