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.

Hot Time in Denver
Things are really hopping at the conference. Lots of attendees....plenty of good restaurants and very hot for this time of year, 91 degrees F. The upshot is that I brought all the wrong clothes but we are inside a hotel most of the day. So far staying cool...starting a two day class today on leaves. Just checking in to give you a thought to ponder: we are teaching at The Applique Society conference. What a thrill for all of us....however, there isn't a piecing society. Does that mean something? Is applique a more painterly way of working? What is the attraction? Off to work, awaiting your thoughts.
