Open Studios Aftermath

The weather was not cooperative on Memorial weekend.  It was cold and rainy part of the time, and just chilly and windy the rest of the time.  Despite that, we had at least 25 people a day come by.  I felt that most of what I did was educate people about art quilts.  Most were expecting more traditional pieced quilts.  I think I'll do the tour again next year, but if I don't sell anything, that will be the end of it.  It's amazing how exhausting it is to be 'on' all day long for 3 days.  Judy Nelson was set up in the carport with her jewelry and glass bead making equipment.  She sold a good amount of jewelry and got an order for her cute little glass mushrooms, but she told me she sells more in one day at the annual Holiday bazaar here in the valley.

This is one of the small quilts I made for Open Studios.
