Things are getting more and more eccentric at Casa de la Swain. Changing styles in my textile work, falling in love again with painting and photography...and then there is the ever illusive quest for continuing creativity through working with Eric Maisel. Still on the road teaching, posting now at the Ragged Cloth Cafe and taking the pledge to keep handmaiden up to date.

Spending Money Day


Congrats to Melody Posted by Hello
As you can se our own Miss Thin won the blue ribbon for her Triumph of Tulips...a big woohoo to Mel. Now for the important stuff...spending money. Stopped by Marit Kucera's booth, Art Spoken Yardage, only to discover some new yummy fabric...a must have. And believe it or not I need sewing machine needles...strange but true...I have used them all up. There are scads of hand sewing needles at my house, naturally, but had to search for a new machine needle to finish the Pilgrim Roy Challenge borders and binding....which by the way made it on time...hand delivered yesterday.
There are lots of beautiful quilts and great vendors so today will be a busy day. Still just makes me want to come home and make quilts.

Yes, thank you for posting it Gabrielle. Melody would have been too modest. Or not. It is a beautiful piece and I love seeing it and I'm glad she was acknowledged for it.
