Yes, you are invited.

OK, this is kind of ridiculous, I know. I have done nothing on this blog except ask you to stuff for a few weeks now. So, this is my life, lovely. Busy. And full of flat out get it done.

Sometimes life is like that, and we who are lucky enough to work at what we love get the benefit. I have been a bit crazy, stitching my way into a solo show, getting ready for quilt festival, trying to think about next year with that half an ear on the future. NOTHING, NOTHING,  has been done exactly the way I'd wish it to be.. but it's done (or nearly). I hope to post a link to an online gallery here in the next couple of weeks. If you can't make the opening but want to see the show, call or email me and I'll make arrangements to meet you at Don and Jacob's for lunch sometime before it all comes down in January. There will also be a couple of other parties and special events there over the holiday season.

The solo show opens on Sunday, and you are invited.

Tomorrow and Monday I prepare for the festival workshops and demos. Saturday a dear friend has asked me to "do" a special workshop with him, for a birthday gift of creativity. The book is out. The website launched.

You can order here on Amazon (Kindle version, too).

Please, if you have any desire for this book -- great for kids and parents and grandparents, order it soon, so Amazon reorders! On such, books are made and lost. We have spent money, lots of time and it's kind of a legacy thing for me and my co-authors. You won't regret the purchase -this is the real thing with lots of great ideas for getting kids off to a creative thinking start.Save & Close

Yes, I certainly understand 'busy'! And when your work is out there, of course you want to celebrate it by sharing with everyone! I'll be emailing/calling you next time I'm in Bandera (probably in Dec) for lunch and a tour thru the show. I'm ordering the book from Amazon. I'll meet you in your Sunday class at IQF. Congratulations on the book, the shows, all the good that's been happening in your life!

What a fabulous place to have a show, Susie! It was thoroughly enjoyable. Congratulations!

Very enjoyable class at IQF (Inspiration is in the Cards)! Opened my eyes to the importance of keeping visual reminders of what makes me happy, what makes me want to choose one path over another, what will start my engines. I can get so caught up in the neccessary routines of life, I really need the jumpstart to wander down the path and go 'what if?'. What if I turn this pattern upside down, what if I pick up this color, set this texture next to this one, what if I just go for it?
