It's like a concert tour but with sketchbooks. Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country. After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into…

Do you ever have one of those days? You work your butt off and nothing gets finished… so as I wake up this morning, I guess I'll complete a lot of tasks today that were begun yesterday. I spent an entire day photographing quilts yesterday, organizing air fares, filling out papers, editing film…..and I got…
Drawing the quilts.

It’s been an easier day today.
Finally the weather has broken and after a night in the mid 30's we've had rain. So no pool frolics today. I have one more treatment on my shoulder and I'm pleased with the results… I just need to remember to favor it when I'm traveling. I'm in absolute heaven, quilting the rhino. I can't…
