There’s only a week left to view our current artist’s intricate textiles!

A Celebration Of Color
Cathy Brorby
quilts, wool appliqué, fiber art
Ends May 30

Cathy Brorby has always enjoyed making things with textiles. Her sister taught her how to knit when she was in elementary school and this experience led her to learn crochet, embroidery and cross-stitching.

In 1995, Brorby and a dear friend went to see the movie “How to Make an American Quilt” and it inspired them to take a quilting class for beginners. They were immediately hooked. She soon realized that cutting fabric into pieces and making a design with them was much more gratifying than cutting out pattern pieces and sewing them together to make articles of clothing. She eventually took more classes and explored other quilting styles and techniques.

Recently, Brorby has turned her focus to wool appliqué. She embellishes her works with different threads, beads and materials in order to add layers of complimentary colors and textures. She loves to experiment with rainbow color schemes and how those schemes flow and interact with each other.

The pieces on display are not for sale, but you are welcome to contact Brorby about her work at [email protected] or 530-219-8211.

Ride Smart. Ride Safe. ⚡🚲

As warmer weather brings more people outdoors and more students, families, and visitors travel through Downtown Davis by bike, e-bike, and e-scooter, we wanted to help share an important community safety initiative from the City of Davis and DJUSD.

Downtown Davis is one of the most walkable and bike friendly communities in California, and keeping it safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone takes all of us working together.

This month, the City of Davis and its partners are encouraging the community to “Ride Smart. Ride Safe.” by helping educate riders and families about e-bike and e-scooter safety, California regulations, and safe riding practices.

A few important reminders as downtown gets busier this season 👇

🛴 E-scooters are not allowed on sidewalks
⛑ Helmets are required for riders under 18
🚦 Riders should follow traffic laws and posted speed limits
⚡ Devices exceeding 28 MPH are not street legal in California
👀 Riders should stay alert, predictable, and visible while traveling through streets and paths

As a downtown district filled with restaurants, shops, events, outdoor dining, and community gathering spaces, pedestrian and rider safety directly impacts the experience of everyone who visits Downtown Davis.

We encourage businesses, residents, students, and community members to help spread awareness and support safe riding habits throughout May.

Together, we can help ensure Downtown Davis remains vibrant, connected, and safe for everyone 💛

Happy Mother’s Day!

Follow the link for an interesting, and sometimes amusing, look at the relationship between some well-known authors and their mothers. Find out who “got his start selling his monster stories to kids in the neighborhood, first for a penny, and later a nickel. The stories apparently gave his friends nightmares, and his mother, Margaret, forced him to stop selling them when she found out.”
