Gone Fishin'
A few Houston recap items...
Carol came to at least my monoprinting demo and then showed up at Open Studios wearing a name tag purse using my pattern from this years Quilting Arts Gifts magazine. It is such fun seeing my designs in the wild, I had to feature it here.
But then...
Carol is a member of my very first guild. The one who gave me a scholarship to go to the Fashion Institute of Technology a little more than 10 years ago. And it was funny because I kept looking at her sitting and listening to me talk. I knew I KNEW her. I even stopped mid-sentence to ask where I knew her from.
Good stuff.
Then a blog reader named Ana stopped by to give me not just this beautifully hand carved wooden spoon but a carved hummingbird too. I tried to take a photo of the hummer but it is blurry and I shouldn't be taking the time to blog right now anyway.
But my camera was returned to me and I snuck a post in.
I feel quite blessed to be among such creative, passionate and loving people.
I am off. I am a member of a Quilt Art Retreat group that meets twice a year and while I was living in Flagstaff, I didn't participate. So I am happy to say I am making up for lost time.
The sign on my door says, 'Gone Fishin!'
