Week 21 - MEMORIES
With Memorial Day weekend next weekend, one cannot help but to think of memories and what they are made of. Here in the States, it's the beginning of the summer season, planting is a top priority, picnic tables are pulled out and you have the A-okay to wear white pants.

Week 19 - FLEETING MOMENT
With Mother's Day right around the corner I look back and it seems that raising the kids was a fleeting moment. Of course, when you are in the midst of it all, days can seem endless. I think the 3-4 year old stage was my favorite but that could just be the mood I'm in.

Week 18 - CINCO DE MAYO
Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May, a time for merriment and margaritas! Loud fabrics are surely a must for me this week along with a taste of tequila and perhaps some pork carnitas.

Week 17 - FRACTALS
With all the talk about fracking now-a-days it got me thinking about fractals -- not that the two have anything in common, except of course for a few letters.

ART QUILT RETREAT - July 9-13, 2012
Imagine yourself with a tall lemonade, the heat of
the sun, the captivating view of sunlight sparkling on one of Upstate New York's finger lakes, experimenting with a variety of techniques, and relishing in the
camaraderie of like minded fiber enthusiasts. Now picture yourself making it
all a reality.
I will be hosting a summer retreat on beautiful
Skaneateles Lake Monday July 9th to Friday, July 13th at
the Victorian Mansion known as Stella Maris Retreat and Renewal Center in

of lake frontage, inspiration abounds. A short walk into town brings you to a
variety of boutique shops and co-op artisan galleries. We will explore working
with photocopy transfers, rubbings, discharging, foiling, couching, using found
objects and finishing techniques. Your own work table, a private bedroom with
shared baths and 12 home-style meals are included in your stay along with a
welcome reception. Limited to 20 participants, make your reservation today.

Week 12 - VERNAL EQUINOX
The vernal equinox and the start of Spring is on March 20th.
According to folklore, you can stand a raw egg on its end during the equinox, wonder if that is true.
