An update to the life of a Traveling Teacher.
These are not the things the average woman has to do when you are at home. Almost everything you do on the road is manipulated just a little differently.

The best laid plans can go astray, even with very experienced travelers like Mr Jim and I.
Bravely we decided to hire a car and drive ourselves in Guatemala instead of paying a guide who wanted an absolute fortune. Jim arrived earlier in the day than I and drove on his own to Antigua.

Textiles and travel stories. Antigua Guatemala.
Jim West and I are doing a little research into Textile Tours for Textile Artists and both of us arrived in Antiqua yesterday. Jim had the trip from hell that sounded like a bad movie, mine began at 3.30 am and I arrived at 10.00 pm. It was a really long day, and we didn’t catch up until breakfast.

The search for the saint of Quilting.!!!!!
We textile artists have our very own Saint his name is Saint Homobonus and there is a statue dedicated to him in Cholula Mexico and of course we had to make a pilgrimage to visit him today. He is closeted in the Pyramid of Cholula and Nuestra Señora de los Remedios Church.
