Early Wednesday I am heading to the airport, and I am just hoping that I can get to Houston. Denver Airport is experiencing delays due to a lack of air traffic controllers. Gulp. Hopefully I can get home Sunday as well.
I’ll be at the gallery talks for Soul Stories on Friday and Saturday at 2 pm so if you are coming please come to these artist talks and say hello afterwards! I am also attending the SAQA member event on Friday 5-7 pm and hope to see many of you there.
eQuilter is also the sponsor for the $5K Master Award which went to Caryl Bryer Fallert Gentry this year. Be sure to see all the big winners, including Best of Show by Ricky Tims.
On Saturday, for World Animal Day, I attended an event at the Denver Botanic Gardens, for an organization that works to pass laws to protect animals (wild and domestic) from cruelty, abuse and neglect. Before the event started, I took a stroll through the gardens at dusk. At the end of summer the last flowers of the season are blooming, and gracefully fading, and there is a particular rich fragrance emanating from the plants, water, and earth. I had a very peaceful moment to sit on a bench as the sky filled with colors, the birds became silent, and the scent of the roses came to me. I spent those moments thinking of Jane Goodall, and how I can take a piece of her legacy forward into the next few years. I admire her commitment to her mission so much….she was traveling and speaking right up to her final days…at 91 years old.
So I share a couple photos from the garden, along with the Cicely Mary Barker licensed Flower Fairies which just came back into stock. When I was a girl I visited my Great Aunt who was a painter, and we would sit in her garden and paint flowers with watercolors, and look for fairies. She gave me a little book of Cicely’s Flower Fairies, and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Sharing our passion for fabric…and cats!
