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.

Christmas in Wolcott, Part 2

Christmas Eve dinner was held at my daughter Barbara's house.

With a traditional baked ham.

Dominic decided to dress in his Power Rangers costume for the occasion.

Then the family headed to Williamson for the Christmas Eve service...our favorite.

Dominic did his best to behave.

The presents are beginning to pile up under the tree at my house where we had Christmas Day Dinner.

Followed by a trip to my Grandaughter Christine's house in Williamson to watch the children open their gifts

Carlos couldn't resist trying on Dominic's Rudolph hat.

Still more gifts for under the tree.

Then the children were turned loose.

And what did I get? This adorable fan for one thing.

Christmas 2011 in Wolcott, Part 1

The house is cleaned (more or less) and the tree is up and trimmed. Well, ok, its a small fake tree which was pre-decorated. But its the point isn't it?

My poor cat is so exhausted from all this activity that she is sleeping with her head off the chair.

Wolcott Strawberry Festival - Big Doings in Wolcott, N.Y.

It was a beautiful day in Wolcott for the annual Strawberry Festival. With all the farms in the area raising them it certainly makes a lot of sense to have one. Before you even get to the Village Green there was a big yard sale by the Bank.

Approaching the Green which is flanked by two big brick churches.

What summer event would be complete without a display of old tractors?

And a food tent? There was too long a line for me to wait for a hot dog so I opted for a Strawberry Sundae. Good choice.

There was a huge crowd (for Wolcott) milling around, eating, shopping at the vendors and listening to the music.

The library and all the area historical societies had booths.

And even the upcoming Bible School had a display.

A number of bands and groups entertained the crowds during the day.

And the children loved this blow up affair.

Lots of vaguely interesting stuff at the vendors.

I settled on two quarts of strawberries at the berry booth.

After all, isn't this what a Strawberry Festival is all about?

Another Snowy Wolcott Day...Time to Plan a Trip

Its yet another snowy day in Wolcott. Looking out my front door. My driveway is covered again.

But the snow does look lovely in the rare sunlight.

It's time to plan another trip to Asia. My first stop will be Kathmandu and, of course, breakfast at the Pumpernickel Bakery. Hot croissants and rolls right out of the oven first thing in the morning? Who could ask for anything more.
