DoodleZenDotz Intensive 2 day class

The 2 day class started with a number of doodling exercises and several dotting tools and techniques on day 1. Then we got down to the nitty gritty of original design, bobbin embroidery and adding dots to the design. They did awesome!

Portrait Quilts class at NZ Symposium

I did a 2 day Portrait Workshop and a few of the students opted to do the face of their choice. Most did the face I provided (which is much less frightening). All of the results were incredible. I am so proud of them. Here's photos from a few who chose their own faces.








The hair is done with individually cut pieces of thread. Excellent solution!

A walk in the Garden in Queenstown, NZ

No jet lag at all. I slept when I wanted on the plane and watched movies when I didn't. Once settled in the hotel, I went for a walk in the beautiful gardens and got some great photos. No need to comment...I'll just show you.

Queenstown New Zealand

What a great little town.






It is a tourist town set on a beautiful lake and a lovely little park.






I went for a great walk in the park with my new camera in hand...






And got some great photos...more on that in the next post...






This was the beginning of a great trip
I had trouble finding wifi, so I'll be posting some great photos of the trip...stay tuned.

First day in New Zealand

Slept great and hoping for no jet lag.

There's inspiration everywhere...even the hotel lights.

Went for a walk in the park.

It's fall here.

 There's a beautiful rose garden and I am loving my new camera.

2 days til New Zealand

Ok...not really 2 days because I won't be there til Saturday. But it is 2 days before I leave. How many hours does it take to get there? Well I leave noon on Thursday and get there at 3pm on Saturday. I think it's about 23 hours in the sky...but I don't really know. Why bother counting? After the first 6 hours I know all I'll want is to get off the plane...probably not a good idea since I'll be over water ;) but ya do what ya gotta do.

So if you want to travel with me on this trip, follow the blog and I'll post photos, blips, and life lessons along the way.

New Zealand Here I Come!

In just a few days I will be sitting on several planes for hours....many many hours....and I will eventually end up in New Zealand. How exciting is that! I will be teaching at the Remarkable Symposium.

I taught for this group a couple years ago and it was absolutely fantastic. The Quilters are creative and fun to be with and I don't expect they've changed at all :) I'll make sure I get some great VidCast footage so you can see what this event is all about.

I'm sure you'll want to see and hear all about it, so be sure to stay tuned to this blog. I will do my best to post ...when I can find Internet access...
