The adventures of one fortunate woman, who is able to pursue her two primary passions, art and nature. The landscape might be the arid desert of New Mexico, my home state, or somewhere far afield. The activity might be the teaching of design to a group of art quilters, or the study of birds. I can't imagine doing anything resembling a 'normal' job. My life is my quilts, my birds, and the love of the outdoors.

Katazome - Part One
What a treat I had this week! My good friend, and partner in quilting, Donna B., discovered that an amazing textile artist, Karen Miller, was to be teaching in Santa Fe! Donna, being of the creative type, and ingenious as well, contacted Karen to see if she would teach a class for our small group. Enter another talented lady, Paula Scott, who offered the use of her studio and back yard, and the class was a done deal. The result was two intense, but inspirational days spent learning the technique of Japanese Katazome Stencil Dyeing. I can't wait to see how this turns up in my future work!
