We’ve had over 5″ of snow overnight, with more snow and sub-freezing temps on the way. It is a good time to stay inside with a hot drink, to sew and quilt! I had a ticket to see Itzhak Perlman in Denver tonight, but the icy roads made me choose to stay home safe here in Boulder. However Sophie Quinn is still going since she lives in downtown Denver and works for the Colorado Symphony. (While she goes to school at MSU getting her music ed degree.)
I am finishing a Japanese-themed quilt and starting an environmental-themed quilt this weekend, both of which will go to my solo gallery at the Kyoto Quilt Festival.
We are sponsoring the Best Machine Quilting award at QuiltCon, and I would really like to go to Phoenix for a day or two, but it is right before my trip to Japan. So…not sure if I can make it to QuiltCon.
Tuesday this week I am giving zoom talk for the Visions Museum of Textile Art, and it is a presentation I don’t do to often but it is a lot of fun – an autobiography on my life as a designer and artist. It is the 3rd in their current subscriber lecture series. If you haven’t subscribed yet, the previous 2 lectures were recorded, so you can watch all three!
In case you missed this link last week, I have compiled a list of relief agencies and non-profits who are on the ground in the So Cal communities affected by the fires. I hope you will join us in donating whatever you can afford to help those who have lost everything.
Just watched the last episode of the current Outlander season 7, now anxiously awaiting the final season 8….later this year? Made even more interesting because we visited the atelier who helped make some of the more intricate costumes for the series, during my textile/costume tour last month. The new prequel spin-off series will come out this summer. So more time-traveling romance and COSTUMES this year!
sharing your love for fabric,
