Lea @ Rd 2 CA
It has been an exciting couple of weeks, but I’ve made precious little progress on the bike boys. Last week I made a quick 5-day trip to London to drop off a couple of quilts and to reconnect with 2 good friends that I met 20 years ago in Turkey. Of course the days before a trip like that are full of preparation=no quilt work. The trip included high tea at the Goring Hotel, a musical, “From Here to Eternity” at the Shaftsbury Theatre, a new hairdo at the salon in Selfridges, and a bit of shopping on Oxford St. Then, the next couple of days are all about recovery and getting the sleep schedule back in place=no quilt work.
On Tuesday, I received the exciting news that my quilt “Panning for Gold” had won the prize for “Best of Show from a First Time Entrant” at the Road to California Quilt Show. I’ve never actually been to this show, so I thought this was a great excuse to check in out in person. Working out travel details and preparing for a substitute teacher at school took up the next couple of days=no quilt work.
With a flight delay, I found myself home with a day to work in the studio. However, with a deadline looming for the SAQA trunk show, I sprung into action on a different piece: “A Horse of Course”
Me, I’ve been all over the map these last 2 weeks, but the Bike Boys are going nowhere.
