Many of you share another great passion with me, besides quilting –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Travel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been watching Paul develop a new collection that I like to call “Great Kitties of the World”, and tonight we are introducing…..drum roll…..ROME!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was just a few months ago that I led a Textile and Costume Tour in Italy. The colors, textures, and graceful designs that we experienced there, have filled up my Creative Juice Tank and it is still flowing out in unexpected ways in the art studio. So I am greatly enamored with this trio of wide-eyed fluffy Italian kitties, and the skyline of Bella Roma in the background. I have many fond memories of visiting the Italian Quilt Guild in Rome several years ago. Hugs and kisses to my quilter friends in Rome – you know who you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday I drove back from Southwest Colorado, after spending a week working on a new Bear-themed art quilt, at the Alegre Retreat in Gateway. It was a wonderful week of camaraderie with old and new friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday evening I attended a fundraiser event for the Colorado Bear Coalition at the Governor’s Mansion in Denver. We donated a bundle of bear-themed fabrics<\/a><\/strong> for the silent auction. I finally met one of my conservation heroes – Dr Marc Bekoff – who collaborates with Jane Goodall on the Roots and Shoots program. You may have read that Kathy Price from our longtime non-profit partner Mission of Love is also involved with Jane and Roots\/Shoots in Pine Ridge South Dakota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing our passion for fabric…..
