quilt shows

I went with my Dad to help with his booth at a local quilt show. He is trying to attract customers in order to provided fine art photography services. Most folks don't understand how that could fit in with their quilt or fiber art so we spend most of our time educating. We did bring a few samples of fabric blocks that we had printed with copies a few of Mom's paintings, and we sold a few. It was a nice day weather wise and that made it very pleasant.


Here is my Dad wearing my coat as it was a bit chilly in the morning.....and on the outside of the booth I hung some of my pieces which got a lot of positive comments although it was clear that "fiber art" was not what most folks came to see.....the comment most often heard was " OH isn't that clever! "

vacationing...at home

I am at home this week....yeah!!!...I have had such fun wallowing in my creativity...I am playing with my own stuff and making some examples of "what you can do with these"





My Dad is printing my Mom's paintings on fabric and I am using them in various ways so we can show folks the posibilities at a quilt show in Coburg Oregon on Saturday....

I will go to support the Dad...he has more ideas than time....I will take the sewing machine...if you are in the area come by and see us.............

travels

During the week of the 4th of July we traveled ( In the behemoth ) down to camp pendleton to see the boy....the Marine......it is not very relaxing for me ...going down the road in something so big makes me nervous....but it is nice to have your own potty and bed while traveling....David did most of the driving thank goodness.....






there are such an amazing array of sights going down I-5 and then you hit the great LA traffic


anyway we made it and had a nice week I got to go to the visions quilt gallery and that was great!!! I really enjoyed seeing those quilts many of which I have seen on line and it is such a difference to see them in person. And the gallery is so nicely done as well.


And we king of stumbled on the exihibit of the dead sea scrolls at the natural history museum...the more I think of that the more amazing it seems that we actually saw them!!!
