The art school has invited me to return to teach again in 2019 - so if you missed this opportunity, I will be returning. More information will be provided in a future newsletter.
If you would like to learn some of these basketry techniques, feel free to share my name with your local guild or basket group. I love to travel to teach! I also teach all these techniques in my monthly home workshops in the Encinitas area of California.
Please note my NEW mailing address at the bottom of this newsletter. It changed slightly - my UPS Store moved a couple suites over in the same parking lot. I'm also going to discontinue my landline phone next year and am making the transition to using my cell phone 760-533-1000.
Wishing all my readers a beautiful Fall and good health and happiness in the upcoming holiday season.
Happy weaving,
Nadine

Through January 7, 2018
The 29 quilts in this exhibit have been pieced by wounded soldiers as occupational therapy, others were stitched as gifts or simply to pass the time. All were made by men in wartime out of uniforms, blankets and any other fabric that could be spared: artifacts of human creativity at work in the darkest hours.
