Fall Encompasses Us All

I've no new 'today' images, as I've just finished a two day workshop. This is the view outside one of the classrooms at Art Quilt Tahoe. I reminded me that fall would be waiting for me home, and yes, that bit of leaf piling I did last night before it got too dark to see. 
 

Who Knew?

Within the Frame, my newest workshop, debuted today. While demonstrating how to set the inside square (I know, hard to see, which is the point) I grabbed an old print that had little value. Then this appeared, and gosh, I kinda liked it. There is a lot of life, action, hmmm, like my younger self!
 

Half Circle Dot Skirt

 One more piece for the RIT Beyond Fashion show is nearly complete. The half circle skirt is a cotton print of mine that I made at Hudson River Valley Workshop summer before last (when no one was looking.) I've got to make a top; that's in the works. Yep, that's my weekend!

While Waiting

I saw this outside the gate while waiting for my Denver to Chicago flight yesterday. Heck, what is going on? These folks we just outside the gate door, a stones throw from the luggage trucks below. Such a strange scene, vast land in the back. Complete with gas fire pit, by the way. What next? 
 

On My Way Home

Last night's light to send me home. Today was an early rise for my ride to Reno Airport, then Denver, then Chicago, and then to Rochester. Bags all there, Uber just fine, home again. New list started!
 

My Wonderful Class

A mighty troop of printers they are! A week with Art Quilt Tahoe proved a perfect way to share a surface design process that included more ways to print than we had time for. They were great to be among, and no doubt that they will use what they've made this week for some splendid works. 

 

Decisions, Decisions

Knowing how to print comes quickly, knowing what to print not as fast. The time to decide, ponder, wonder, and replace takes time and patience. Still, worth the effort to print the intriguing composition. Still at Art Quilt Tahoe. 
 

Meeting of the Minds

We started our day with a look at what we did yesterday, and lots of ideas for how to carry on. This group is sharp, kind, and terribly fun. Only missing thing is tea and scones delivered at 3. 

 

We Are Printin'

 It took only a day to populate the entire room with color, texture, and imagery.  Art Quilt Tahoe gave us weather to match.

Lake Tahoe

It's difficult to say how beautiful this piece of the country is. Art Quilt Tahoe is directly on the lake, and to get from class to lunch you walk just a few feet from the water's shore. We also were treated to an exuberant sky, quite dramatic. Perhaps a foreshadowing of our week ahead. 
 

What's On the Wall

Before I travel to Art Quilt Tahoe, I snap a shot of what I leave on the wall in Studio 301. Somehow, I think I like where it is going. So, when I return, it'll be the work I welcome.
