#photoadayJune

I've fallen prey to another "one-a-day" challenge. This time it's Photo a Day: June. Photo a Day is exactly what it sounds like - every day you take and share an Instagram photo, following the list of prompts (pictured below). Today's photo... Morning: Lake Truesdale.

Art & Soul - Virginia Beach

Art & Soul - Virginia Beach was last week and what a lovely time it was! Thanks so much to the peeps who put it all together and to my marvelous students. And even though it was wicked cold, I still walked on the beach. Here's what it looked like...

By the way, in case anyone's wondering... yes, I could get used to waking up to an ocean view sun rise (complete with dolphins) and walking on the beach three times a day.

My new DVD, shot in Cleveland last month, will be released in late October. Doesn't it look purdy?

Adventures in Cleveland

On my way home from CREATE in Chicago, I stopped in Cleveland for a few days, where I had the great pleasure of taping some segments for Quilting Arts TV (Series 900) and an instructional DVD (about machine quilting). I seem not to have taken many pictures, but here's what it looked like:

My little Zuzu dog was my traveling companion for this trip, as was my Bobby Darin Pandora station. Since we went by car, we were in six states in one week --- NY, NJ, PA, OH, IN, IL (and then back again). Here's how Zuzu spent her spare time:
