Looking forward to a new adventure!

Well soon Debbie and I will be leaving for our first winter holiday to Arizona!  We usually go to Florida in March every year, but we needed a change.  Florida just isn't doing it anymore.  We found a wonderful "artists' " town called Tubac.  The arts are everywhere there!  I hope to do a lot of drawings and some small watercolours and of course some hand dyeing and sewing.
We are also going to Phoenix for the AQS quilt show! OH BOY!
I would also like to thank Lisa for the wonderful day we had at her pottery studio.  I am excited about  what I produced and can't wait to see the end results.
I was teaching in Amherst NY this week and the students were amazing.  We were working on my new folded fabric techniques.  They were very excited and the results were great. I thought I had a lot of fabric stash!
I promised myself I would set new challenges for myself this year.  Karen has challenged me to take a self portrait every day while in Arizona.  I plan to get real creative with this.
Have been clearing up a lot of loose ends before going away.  Customers quilts, commissions, gallery work, even dental and eye appointments!
Watch for those portraits!
