I travel the world teaching and talking.
Photographing and writing,
Sharing experiences
What a way to go.
I have no idea what awaits me when I get home.
Most all I want to unpack the big box from India and set everything out so I can relive the experiences again. So I guess I just put on the shorts and the ‘T’ shirt and plain get down to it. I can sleep in my own bed. But really, I might just flop in…
It’s time to go home – Teaching and Traveling.

People, Portraits and figures.
This is one of my favourite categories in the show. I absolutely love the image below, I’ve the subtlety, and the execution to of the placement of fabric and the quilting. I’m not taking photos of all the quilts this year, but instead, I wish to study the ones that I really like and find…
Just a few more images from the blue and white exhibition ‘Sapphire Celebration” at the International Quilt Market and Festival. Houston.
