Well winter is still here, as I write this we are looking to see more -15 degrees temperatures coming back this weekend even though it will officially be March. But then again we have had some great snowfalls and beautiful blue skies. Spring always comes…right?
Our weavers group met once again at our local food coops community room, with lots of energy and some great works in progress or finished objects to share with the group. Olga was getting ready to present a memoir about her grandmother, a painter to her Sunday Morning discussion group. The photos of some of the 70 paintings that she shared with us were inspiring. Especially as I am just getting brave enough to give watercolor a try.
Next month we are planning a road trip to see the Helen Louise Allen Textile Exhibition at the School of Human Ecology at UW Madison. Should be fun.

Such beautiful work, as always. Its good to have a link with textile folk on the other side of the world!
