I had a wonderful time in Houston, though I dreaded going. I didn’t get a piece finished to submit this year due to the shoulder issues and I knew there would be an endless number of “do you have a quilt in the show” questions asked. There were. It was terrible, and each time I shrinked back more. My standard answer was “I was lazy this year” as it was easier and shorter than anything else.
I taught my 3 stretching classes. I derive my energy from the class energy, which often means that the larger classes are better. During one class (size about 60), a photographer came in while we were all bending over. We heard “click” and I shot up to see who dared take a picture of our butts. I quickly had us return to chair exercises until the show photographer left. We had lots of fun.
I volunteered my time helping out the Imagine Hope exhibit (www.imagine-hope.org). The exhibit is going to start to tour late 2010 and will feature 12 of Hollis Chatelain’s art pieces along with some wonderful photography. Each piece of the exhibit conveys a message and the idea behind it is to help bring social awareness through art.
Tonight I am going to dig out the piece I was working on when the docs gave me the infection back in April. I hope at least to get the top finished before my November 17 shoulder surgery.
welcome home!
