9-8-05 We had breakfast of raisin bran for Brint and blueberry oatmeal. We both had tea. After breakfast we dingyed into North Haven and Browns marina to pay $10 for the mooring. We had coffee at the lobsterman’s coop and took a walk on the road out of town. On our walk we met an ancient boat builder and woman standing beside the road next to his little boat building shed. The women who was at least 70 has one of his rowboats and does a row every morning.
A little farther down the road we noticed a house with and elegant quilt hanging from the top of the porch. A women and her husband were on the porch and we started up a conversation. It seems that Jean is quite a quilt maker. She gives courses and has some of her quilts in museums. Brint’s wife Carolyn is interested in quilts and we talked quite a whIsle. Jean took us upstairs to her work room and gave us a short course in quilt design showing us several other magnificent pieces. Her address and web site are listed below:
