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.

Annual Jazz and Wine Fest, Wolcott, N.Y.

 The first weekend in August means its time for the annual Wine and Jazz Festival.  The police must not have been worried about interlopers due to the heat and were probably in their office beside the park.  A small firetruck and ambulance awaited any problems.
 Main street was decked out as usual with tents for the wine tasting from local wineries.  Attendance might have been down due to the unusual 94 degree heat today.
 Over in the park by the purple balloons vendors were selling crafts and food.
 The brownie sundaes weren't enough to entice me.
 There was a nice little crowd sitting under the trees listening to the Finger Lakes Jazz Orchestra.
 A few vendors were doing a little business.

Jazz And Wine Festival in Beautiful Downtown Wolcott

This is the 2nd or 3rd Annual Central New York Wine & Jazz Festival held in "Historic Wolcott, N.Y."





It was held in the Park and in the main block downtown which was closed to traffic.





Of course there were two local policemen overseeing the activities to keep out interlopers and such.






Our beautiful famous fountain at the town traffic light.






The downtown street was full of Helavagood Cheese, Wine tasting booths and a few assorted dealers.





And a Jazz musician who seemed to be his whole band.






One of the wine tasting booths. They were using real glass wine glasses.





As usual, you can sit out front of the Hotel






The fancy grape logo was everywhere.






You can also sit out in front of both Pizza Parlors.






Back in the park I succumbed to homemade black raspberry ice cream.






Which i ate while listening to a really good Jazz Band.












As always there was other food available, but why bother when there is ice cream?
