Courage 2010 24×24″
Hello friends!
Summer was wonderful, classically hot, and steamy. My cottonwoods are already turning and dropping their leaves. It’s time to let go of that lazy hazy feeling, and get back in the saddle. Cool mornings, hot porridge! Although I was working steadily through the summer, I was stricken with a terrifying eye infection in August, which took three good weeks out of my life and added a few gray hairs. But all is well at the moment and it’s catch up time.
The Dundas Studio Tour that was held on October 2-3 was huge success. In spite of terrible, and I mean truly dismal, weather, visitors flocked to our location. It was our most successful tour EVER. We’ll have to remember that for next year! 🙂
A while back, I was approached by a representative for the Long Island Jewish World, Manhattan Jewish Sentinel and Rockland Jewish Tribune, asking to feature my large commission, the Seven Days of Creation, as the cover image during Rosh Hashanah.They were so pleased with the result that they have asked for more images.

My quilt, Luck and Skill, has been selected to be on exhibit at the
International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX from October 30 to November 7, 2010. It will be part of the Quilters’ SOS – Save our Stories exhibition. This quilt was the subject of an interview with Bernie Herman, the George B. Tindall Professor of American Studies and Folklore at the University of North Carolina in 2008. Here is the link to the interview:
Luck and Skill . It is well worth reading. Sometimes I can’t believe I said all that!

I will be teaching a 3-day workshop, Collage with Nets, in London, Ontario, in May 2011. This will be one of the many activities associated with the major Gathering Threads Conference to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Embroiderers’ Guild in London. I owe a great deal to this wonderful organization, and if you are a textile enthusiast, I am positive you will find much to see over those 4 days. Visit this
link for more information as it unfolds.
That’s all for now… as always, send a note, give me a call, or come and visit. You are always welcome!
