I love to travel all over the globe shopping for textiles to add to my wearable art. I have taught quilting to school children in Nepal, seminole patchwork to seamstresses in Thailand, and jackets and embellishment to quilters in Turkey where I also served as a judge at 2 of their International Quilt Shows. I have created garments for 5 Fairfield and Bernina Fashion Shows and teach classes on embellishment and wearable art. Lately I have been leaning more toward making art quilts.

Back in Kathmandu

At the bottom of Thamel is a tole called Chetrepati with a huge tree in the intersection where a repairman usually sits every day with his hand crank sewing machine doing repairs. In the morning its always a traffic tangle with cars, bicycle rickshaws, pedestrians and private school busses. There are no busses for public schools.
A man gets his children off to school. There are several in the neighborhood.

A local meat market. Its not hard to become a vegetarian here. The vegetables look lovely. Unfortunately some of the vendors wash them off in the polluted local streams.
Janet decided she needed a local broom.

A wonderful old building.

Just another temple.
One of hundreds of small shops. This one is making silver jewelry.
