Got my booth all set up and everyone is enjoying taking photos of it. Since UPS lost one of my boxes and the main part of my bed, Randy had to do a mock up base and hopefully no one tries to sit on it!!!

Taking a deep breath of the crisp fall air

Fall has finally come to Southern California, the nights are cool and we even had some rain. The roses are putting on their fruits of fall, rosehips. These wonderfully colored berries of oranges and reds are wonderful this time of year. I love to cut bouquets of them to decorate the house with in fall. I love everything about them and concider them an added gift after the blooms have all gone.

Art Applique-Teaching at Redlands

I had a wonderful class of very talented students, we had a ton of fun using colored pencils on fabric. During all the flurry for Houston I was almost dreading the time and energy and all the preparation for teaching but once I get there its almost magical. I realized it was a perfect break from the crazy days in the studio. I love all the energy and creativity that is happening in class and meeting new quilting friends, 17 students were in class learning different techniques for applying colored pencils and watercolor pencils to fabrics. There were so many talented women in my class today! Here are some photos.

Thanks everyone for a great day!
