I haven't even mentioned the events of yesterday AND they are quilt related…I met about 30 ladies at the home of one of the members of the local quilt group here in San Miguel de Allende. It was a a lovely experience for me to be invited to the home of someone living here. In…

I travel the world teaching and talking.
Photographing and writing,
Sharing experiences
What a way to go.
Dolores Hildalgo photos of a rural city. I guess you can see from my photos that many of them are taken with an idea of using them for color. Lets look at this photo…. It was taken purely because I like the colors….The colors are stunning, they give a feeling of warmth, despite that fact…
A bit of excitement….
Photos of San Miguel de Allende set No 2. It's getting harder to write the blog…. the wi fi here seems to have a mind of it's own and it's almost impossible to upload photos at the moment…. I think everyone is on line at the same time.For a short while I was able to…
A quiet day.
I filmed today…. I sat quietly and observed. I visited the art galley, churches and sat in the square…. The weather was kinder today….I crashed a fancy wedding in my bright orange sweat shirt… The rich and famous were there, the outfits were amazing and everyone was extraordinarily beautiful….

I had a little break today….I got caught up in a demonstration, I walked and walked… then rested on the bed and fell asleep in the middle of the afternoon….!!

Imagine, that you don't speak "Plooha" Imagine, that no instruction books were written in "Plooha". Imagine, how would you go about learning that subject/technique.? Imagine, that you found a teacher who understood "Plooha" and that teacher had …
Teaching today.
It's still early but the bed is so uncomfortable in this hotel that I had to get up.I actually took the quilt from the other bed, folded it in four and put it on the mattress of the bed I'm sleeping in to create a little more comfort.It's a little better, but not too much….
