Back to School, looking back over the Summer activities

Fortunate to visit Dallas, TX in August.   Return to Infinity, Yayoi Kusama
at the Dallas Museum of Art.

I attended the IOLI Convention for a week - with Wednesday "free day"
where I chose to visit the museum.
More LINK HERE re. my tatting & needle lace classes, purchases, etc.

 A lot to see in the museum.  For the textile readers of this blog, I chose these to share:





Went to the $2 Tuesday Day,  at the Indiana State Fair
with DD.   We ate our way thru all the vendors!!






I visited the Art Institute a couple of times -- Excellent exhibits of Gustave Caillebotte, The Sculptures from the Torlonia Collection, Frida Kahlo / Mary Reynolds Month in Paris, and WOW'd by Raqib Shaw's Paradise Lost.  Lunch out doors around the fountain / courtyard.




Enjoyed concerts -- Robin Trower in Nashville, IN 



& Beck at Ravinia, IL:

Pumpkin c.2006 JBW Designs. French Country IV

This is about 3.5" x 3.5". I'm thinking small pillow for table decoration. This looks better than I thought it would!!

Tonight, I'm going to be stitching on the Scissor Pocket. Another project using beautiful autumn colour. Thankx for all the comments and private e-mails. Stitchers Rock.

This was my choice for last Monday. It is JBW Designs: French Country IV - Pumpkin. I stitched on it a couple days & misplaced it. Found it earlier today in my car. I'm using Burnt Orange - Sampler Threads.

Tomorrow, I think I'm going to pick up my Acorn Sampler Afghan & work on a square.
