Wow. Busy busy summer days! Blog posts seem to get put on the back burner lately. I just finished the sample book that I demoed in my Italy workshop. It ended up about 4" thick and is 6" X 9".
I still have more photos from my time in Italy that I would like to share, but haven't gotten back to them yet. Hopefully things will slow down a bit now. Hope you're all enjoying a beautiful June!

This is so beautiful. When are you going to teach an online class? Can you hear me wishing here?

I have wandered around your site and just adore your work - your blending of textures, colors, adding painting and texture to fabric and lace - so beautiful, very peaceful and inspiring. What a blessed and talented lady you are!

Sabine, I use a regular Bernina sewing machine for free motion without any embroidery or quilting attachments. I like the uneven and imperfect look of making it up as I go without patterns.
Lisa, I'm still working on the goal of online book classes. I just haven't been able to get it going yet.
Kristi, I'm already dreaming about, and planning for next year! What a perfect time we all had. And I'm so glad you love your book!
Robin, thank you for sharing the link!
Rochelle, thank you for the info on Colorado. I loved teaching there, but I just can't travel like I used to. Other than the international trips and CA, I won't be teaching anywhere else for a while. I'm still hoping for online classes now that I have my health back though!
I really love the comments... thank you everyone!

DJ,
This is the most beautiful book I've ever seen! I wish I could touch it & examine every page. Someday I'd love to take a class from you. Any chance of an online class?

Your book is as gorgeous as the week we shared in Orvieto!!! I am so lucky to have a book from your hands. We can't wait to have you back with Adventures in Italy next fall to weave the magic all over again! Ciao, Kristi

Another beautiful book - I especially love the floral and leafy themed stitchings in this one. And yes please - more photos of Italy any time.

Hi DJ, I hope all is well. I really hope you consider coming back to Colorado. We have a fiber art center you hold your class at. I "still" would love to take a class from you. I hope things work out soon for that to happen.Take care.
