As I mentioned on my last post, I was driving down south to visit my sis in Alabama. This was the first time I have driven by myself this long of a distance and to somewhere I had never been. Luann suggested I take photos of my stops on the way so here are a…

Some inspiration from Penny
My good friend Barb and I took a day trip recently to Carnegie Center, just a two-hour drive from here, to see another one of Penny Sisto’s exhibits. I thought I’d share some inspiration from this talented artist. This year’s exhibit is called Earth-Tones and all of the quilts have been dyed with coffee. She…

Read MoreShelbyville Ky Road Trip
This past weekend I drove over to Shelbyville, Kentucky, located 30 minutes on the other side of Louisville. This two and a half drive is an easy trip. However, they are on the wrong time an hour ahead of me so to attend a class starting at 9 am would have made me getting up…

Oh my! Did I tell you that I was oh, so inspired after not only seeing Penny’s lovely fiber art Friday, but spending some time with her at the Artisan Center in Corydon, Indiana? Well, I sure was. I met Penny many years ago through my friend Barb. She wrote several articles for magazines about…
