I love both the Hudson River (peaceful, great food, work at your leisure night and day) and Lake Tahoe (lots of friends around, fabulous space, other classes for inspiration) for printing.

She made the fabric in a January workshop, and is now working out new fabric ideas this week in Santa Fe. It's different teaching in person from virtually, and I have to say I love both.

Like a piece that is larger than your cutting matt. I line up one squared edge wtih another and gently roll the excess to fit on the table. That way the weight isn't pulling the piece I want to cut. Then I'm ready for a common cut. This piece is about 7' x 9'. So, yes, need a plan of action.<p></p>Pat Paulyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18393149416008917801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570487518779835859.post-56227066437581082742024-03-02T21:52:00.003-05:002024-03-02T21:52:28.669-05:00Wait No More<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmga9DwcQINGtIbYXlHE05uqvi4-SPAY_Q3s2Vq3O-Pay_wdv38BYq5UEjJ1j8MbNaRPhcFjcNgafwFTmZl3egJuKu0gicRANfHWsHgVhPL30H83_QbhlHS7OFVGRczjVKgaEb1ftNs7dilUpwcApmLandzaVxDOowRyFyGefhfIBArL39JSiBvNqqWBM/s2992/20240302_205929.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2992" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmga9DwcQINGtIbYXlHE05uqvi4-SPAY_Q3s2Vq3O-Pay_wdv38BYq5UEjJ1j8MbNaRPhcFjcNgafwFTmZl3egJuKu0gicRANfHWsHgVhPL30H83_QbhlHS7OFVGRczjVKgaEb1ftNs7dilUpwcApmLandzaVxDOowRyFyGefhfIBArL39JSiBvNqqWBM/s320/20240302_205929.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Just to prove that there is a longer daylight now, here's one full of happy points of light.

If you have more than one machine, set two for sewing. Put one at counter height with the pedal on the floor, for short pieces; and set one at table height for long seaming. Saves your knees and quickens your pace. <br /> <p></p>Pat Paulyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18393149416008917801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570487518779835859.post-87141379741297931382024-02-26T19:53:00.000-05:002024-02-26T19:53:15.099-05:00Nancy's Studio<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6JKE1Yws-mAMOeRvsiJu8suAkdVj_5_eCzeaTkVODzv6vqZFCiNFmtfYzWd4IdoR5r6OjDgTk9MbdlRcvxU30g9JtQ3C2__j9codzXT9fRwT4zzPECk7R2KJQn-S9U1EVse-kMw74wVH5iN5uUtnUjO6PujHcTyT6RjPfMyRfKd9PrbJSfJVUvi-Ytuc/s2992/20240225_135042.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2992" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6JKE1Yws-mAMOeRvsiJu8suAkdVj_5_eCzeaTkVODzv6vqZFCiNFmtfYzWd4IdoR5r6OjDgTk9MbdlRcvxU30g9JtQ3C2__j9codzXT9fRwT4zzPECk7R2KJQn-S9U1EVse-kMw74wVH5iN5uUtnUjO6PujHcTyT6RjPfMyRfKd9PrbJSfJVUvi-Ytuc/s320/20240225_135042.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Across the parking lot is another set of industrial buildings that house galleries and offices. Nancy Valle has part of her studio on the Anderson Arts Building (a floor above mine), part in a working print studio in town, and here next to my building. Sunday she celebrated the space, and threw a little party.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>Pat Paulyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18393149416008917801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570487518779835859.post-20926968935347235362024-02-25T22:28:00.003-05:002024-02-25T22:28:25.605-05:00Party Offering<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBI6hi2yNhl_L6n-bRh6fbrFSFxt9VgYYNghUFqkV3BH5DoRnntSVQKUzy3D6T6KKrZeZXu7lX0RQfC0I42OFXJPnifV38vCmqCEw7r84Hw5GY-lqUuNHB2djBjswlf-_vXC-p0HXsNk3aemRDsTXdRd_94zMh_ix-M8WAE6UyA_dIFNqOX59GhfKWXFI/s2992/20240225_115022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2992" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBI6hi2yNhl_L6n-bRh6fbrFSFxt9VgYYNghUFqkV3BH5DoRnntSVQKUzy3D6T6KKrZeZXu7lX0RQfC0I42OFXJPnifV38vCmqCEw7r84Hw5GY-lqUuNHB2djBjswlf-_vXC-p0HXsNk3aemRDsTXdRd_94zMh_ix-M8WAE6UyA_dIFNqOX59GhfKWXFI/s320/20240225_115022.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I choose to spend my birthday at a potluck and concert with friend in the singing group. So, I made cupcakes and tried my hand at piping decorations. It's difficult to get right, but fun fun fun to try. Here are a few that made it tonight for my outing.

The farthest away from the earth in its orbit means that we need to reach out further, keeping it in sight. There's the goal for the week -- wait for it to come back nearer, it always does.<br /> <p></p>Pat Paulyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18393149416008917801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5570487518779835859.post-39906173374151253042024-02-23T22:51:00.001-05:002024-02-23T22:51:00.128-05:00Grid Work<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilu0IePrTTxQoaufuV477ZZra9ZGYE9yxSq09VFd19GZeRwGY0k7HMicD3AaWIELraAafEsbJZ5m7n84gYz0pvPSyn2XNh23MrdnLueIYkuqPbwsXgGkWj8kogozg8109iksZFjPEbKYVwr00M0az70putGTWIqLsvKH3lLrOXg6IAMBqygGz-z6f_1hI/s2992/20240222_123505.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2992" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilu0IePrTTxQoaufuV477ZZra9ZGYE9yxSq09VFd19GZeRwGY0k7HMicD3AaWIELraAafEsbJZ5m7n84gYz0pvPSyn2XNh23MrdnLueIYkuqPbwsXgGkWj8kogozg8109iksZFjPEbKYVwr00M0az70putGTWIqLsvKH3lLrOXg6IAMBqygGz-z6f_1hI/s320/20240222_123505.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Roger Remington's series of works based on the same grid are at RIT's University Gallery. The multiple versions and all are distinctly different. An honored teacher and influencer at RIT, Remington shows how simplicity generates diversity. Also, the Massimo Vignelli adage: Design without structure is anarchy.<br /> <p></p>Pat Paulyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18393149416008917801noreply@blogger.com0
