Where did the days go? Obviously time flies when you are having fun. We are getting to see lots of old friends, eat great food and spend money...the perfect life. Yesterday we went to Hollis' solo show at the museum...met she and her husband being charming and greeting all the viewers. The show looks wonderful...just to see all your work installed in such a perfect environment is a treat.
Our group had a show in the museum many years ago so I can promise you she is delighted.
Found a few pieces of fabric, got some new pens from ProChem and after dinner made our way to the casino in Metropolis, the home of Superman. Amazing I hit a couple of slot machines at just the right time...talk about your guilty pleasures.
All the quilts look great....and again spur me on to get home and work. You can truly see how passionate we all are about the work when there are 400 plus quiltmakers revealing their work to 40,000 other quiltmakers. Wish you were here......
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.
