Still hot and humid here. Although I don’t envy your long winter seasons, I do wish for some rain and cooler weather.

I love Susan’s work and your portrait is terrific. So wish I could see this installation in person. All of the portraits are so personal and fascinating.

You really seem to have the perfect balance of camaraderie and isolation, taking part in workshops and critiques (all though less frequently, perhaps) and working alone developing your own artistic voice.

Hi!
Thanks for spreading the word about my Decision Portrait series and the exhibition that opens tonight at the City Gallery at Waterfront Park in Charleston, SC. It was my honor to stitch your portrait. Thank you so much!
Susan

I’m hoping that the predictions about the winter are untrue. We have also had a cool snap from high 80s to 60-ish.
After all the guests are gone I can concentrate on Roger’s recovery and maybe a little sewing in the afternoons.
I like that concept of “unfolding” very much. It’s a perfect description of what I would like to do.
Thanks for all the kind words you sent my way.

I agree with Jane to some extent, but working in isolation has its drawbacks. Here in the land of beige quilts it is difficult to find like minded artists. On another note, we have skipped Sept. here in the desert. We are 10-15 degrees below normal. I shudder to think what winter will be like. I guess I better make sure the snowblower is ready to go and sharpen the shovels!;) I have been laying in art supplies for those days where it is too cold to venture out. Have a great weekend.

I love the overall look of Allegro, also. And, if “facilitate and nag” was your personal job description as guild prez, I’d say your term gives a new meaning to the word “facilitate.” And maybe to the word “nag,” too.

How time flies: I can remember when you were accepting the president’s position for the Columbia Fiber Arts Guild!

I love Allegro, and hope that you will do some freeform printing on it. Can’t wait to see it when you are finished with it.

Allegro is wonderful. I just discovered your purple and yellow piece. Both are wonderful.

I’ll miss Indigo Construction; it seems like an old friend to me. Congrats on the sale, though, of course!

Comment on It Felt Good by jenclair

Happy Anniversary!

I just searched through my felting supplies for a couple of bars of soap that never got felted. We were down to slivers, and I don’t know what happened to the soap I bought last week and never got home with. Don’t know why I remembered those bars stored in with the roving…
