I am going to Art Quilt Tahoe in just over a week! I have been slowly getting supplies together for my class with Carol Taylor. I am so excited about this trip I can hardly stand it! I've wanted to go to Art Quilt Tahoe or Asilomar for years and my dream came true in the form of a scholarship to AQT.
Here are the fabrics I've chosen for one of the segments of the class. I still have to add threads to this one. Finally a chance to use these finicky fabrics I've had for a long, long time. I threw in the packet of beads just because they "go."
I have to get out the suitcase(s) this weekend and figure out how I'm not going to freeze my tail off! I don't have any "winter" clothes, outside of a snowboarding jacket I bought last year for our trip to Lake Arrowhead. The average high temperature for Lake Tahoe in November is only 49! With lows as cold as 20. Oh boy. Let's keep in mind, however, that I won't be hiking in the woods or skiing. I will be going from airport to car to hotel. I'm mostly concerned with staying warm and comfortable in class.
I'll post the other two fabric packets I'm putting together so you can see the progress during the week. I can't wait!
By the way, if you are going to AQT, please drop me a note. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and making new friends.

There are 3 of us going to AQT from Huntsville, AL this year. Mary Penton will be in your Carol Taylor class (she's been getting her fabric and yarn ready this week). Peggy Buitekant and I will be in Velda Newman's class. This will be the 3rd year for Mary and me at AQT, and Peggy's first year. It's a lot of fun. You'll love it!
See ya in Tahoe!
