The Canadians left last week.
 |
three of the Canadians plus my good friend, Maria Teresa,
who helped so much with the driving while the 8 Canadians where in town |
After a few days of packing up the exhibits and art work, I left for Concordia Sagittaria, north east of Venice...

and the Lemene River |
...for some teaching engagements; 4 days, 5 classes and a total of 58 students that came in from Mestre, Padova and Portogruaro, which is close by.

lunch with some of the students and store owners |
They appreciated the new way of working I presented in my classes.

I have been invited back by the owners.
I stayed with Jennifer, an Australian friend and fellow quilter. She gave me a lesson on how to clean and cook artichokes, a technique she learned from her italian mother-in-law.

Before I left the house, I took a picture from outside the attic window...a farmer's field.
Great inspiration for a quilt pattern.
i love the farmer's field pic! looks like a pattern in the cement at first glance
