Some days are like this
Yesterday in the studio was Bobbi’s very bad no good terrible day where everything I was working on went wrong wrong wrong and everything I did to fix it was stupid stupid stupid.
It looked like this.
It should have been simple. But I was putting on an edge in a different way. What I thought would work did not work.
Sew. Rip out. Sew. Rip out.
I finally got it corrected. I learned. And it will be fine.
But. Dam! Five hours of frustration.
The good news is… today will be better. I’m at a point in a quilt that interests me in which I can do some surface painting, and I’m very excited to begin.
Here’s a detail.
The moral of the story, of course, is to hang in there. Be a grownup. Bad, unproductive days happen.
Good, joy-filled productive days happen too.
Savor them!

LEARNING OPPORTUNITY… I’m thrilled to have been invited by the CO-WY-UT region of SAQA to teach a presentation on “Composition.” And I’m REALLY pleased that this class will be open to both SAQA members and non-SAQA members. If it sounds interesting to you, please plan to join us.
I am a SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) member – and also a big fan of the organization. If you are interested in textile artwork and you are not part of a community of artmakers, I encourage you to learn about SAQA. www.saqa.com. This class can be a good introduction.
I enjoy presenting the composition class a lot. I’ll be updating it with some new content and there will be lots and lots of artwork to look at. I hope everyone will learn some practices to apply in your studio time. You can register and HERE

I always enjoy questions and comments.
