Helen’s cottage is perfect for an artist to live in. It called to me because I knew I was heading to the beach in July. If I could live on the ocean, I think I would paint all the time! Oh, if only!

Quilt

Helen's painting of a turquoise cottage, perched on a cliff overlooking a body of water similar to 'my' cliff here on Lake Erie and this quilt share a few things in common. I made this quilt by request from my daughter, who plans to give it to a beloved teacher of my grandson's. She, like me, loves turquoise. The blues and greens Helen used are my favourite combination, and I even included a few hits of pink in some of the fabric, similar to her few lupins!

One of the things we miss the most during these challenging times is traveling. Helen’s painting, “Cottage by the Sea” brought to mind all the wonderful places we have visited along the New England coast. Like many, we love to visit lighthouses. They are also one of my favorite things to paint!

I often imagine what life would be like living in a little cottage. My days would be enjoyed quietly,
tucked away in a bay, perhaps a soft breeze drying laundry on the line. The sound of the ocean
would carry through the windows as I sit tucked in a comfy chair with a good book and companion
purring in my lap.

Doesn't this look like the perfect cottage for an artist to live in?  Or, maybe it could be the home of the heroine from a romance novel.  I know I'd love to spend a long weekend there!  It reminds me Miss Rumphius, a wonderful children's book character who sets out to make the world a more beautiful place by planting flowers wherever she goes.  I’m sure she'd approve of this little cottage by the sea.
