Finishing up the interview with Susan
The Quilt Show at Creative Patches in Nipomo, CA, where Susan did a book signing at the Old Town Quilt Guild show. Creative Patches is a nice store, owned by Patty Hughes. The shop has a tv, where you can watch quilt shows on DVD while having your fabric cut, or while waiting in line – ingenious!
Isn’t this quilt gorgeous?! It looks like an explosion of color when cropped to this view.
A great example of a two color quilt – using only two different fabrics. I’ve had a two color quilt on my mind for a long time and this one really inspires me.
“Walking in a Winter Wonderland” redwork quilt – what a lot of beautiful handiwork! The pattern is available through Creative Patches, or by designer Meg Hawkey at CrabApple Hill Studio – one of my favorite places to browse.
This is my favorite quilt from the show – visually incredible, jumbo rickrack in the sashing, and folkart applique in the border. Wow!
After the quilt show, Guy did a search on his smartphone Internet connection and found us a great place to have lunch. He searched on “barbeque” and got a listing for a new restaurant in Arroyo Grande called “Tanner Jacks“. They gave us automated directions, which were easy to find. Tanner Jack’s is excellent!
Here is Guy’s Pulled Pork sandwich with coleslaw. He says “It was great!”.
When you visit, try their signature soup – TriTip with mushrooms — oh yeah! We seriously recommend Tanner Jack’s and look forward to sharing an Apple Brown Betty when we return.
In the same parking lot as Tanner Jack’s, there is a really nice market that does their own BBQ for a quick sandwich. The market is gourmet and you can pick up everything you need for a picnic, including baked goods and nice produce. What a find, in the same parking lot.
We also recommend our very favorite restaurant on the central coast in Templeton, Mc Phee’s Grill, a pot of gold in a tiny town. Owner and chef, Ian McPhee, creates culinary masterpieces nightly.
