Week 18 - CINCO DE MAYO

Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May, a time for merriment and margaritas! Loud fabrics are surely a must for me this week along with a taste of tequila and perhaps some pork carnitas.

ART QUILT RETREAT - July 9-13, 2012

Imagine yourself with a tall lemonade, the heat of the sun, the captivating view of sunlight sparkling on one of Upstate New York's finger lakes, experimenting with a variety of techniques, and relishing in the camaraderie of like minded fiber enthusiasts. Now picture yourself making it all a reality.

I will be hosting a summer retreat on beautiful Skaneateles Lake Monday July 9^th to Friday, July 13^th at the Victorian Mansion known as Stella Maris Retreat and Renewal Center in Skaneateles, New York. Perfectly situated on a vast property with an abundance of lake frontage, inspiration abounds. A short walk into town brings you to a variety of boutique shops and co-op artisan galleries. We will explore working with photocopy transfers, rubbings, discharging, foiling, couching, using found objects and finishing techniques. Your own work table, a private bedroom with shared baths and 12 home-style meals are included in your stay along with a welcome reception. Limited to 20 participants, make your reservation today.
