Caution: Women at Play

The 2010 Taos Design Outside the Lines Retreat is starting its third day.  I'm having a great time getting inspired by the instruction as well as the other participants.  Sewing as art - that's the thing - and Diane Ericson and Marcy Tilton are artists, first and foremost.  For me, it's just fun to slow down, quiet the mind, chat with new friends and old (Diane Lea and her husband came, too), enjoy the beauty of Mabel's house and the delicious meals the staff prepares, awake to the Taos landscape from our Solarium room, etc.  Ron is happily exploring Taos and scouts out the best place for dinner.  It will be hard to leave on Tuesday with so many ideas yet to be realized in the work room.
