A bittersweet time for all.<br /><br />I love the way those blocks turned out...it was particularly nice to see the 'befores' and 'afters' - thanks for including both photos. <br /><br />I am so looking forward to your visit to Atlanta! I wish you could stay with us, but we are going through some big changes right now - all for the good - but very big.<br /><br />I wish Emma could come with you, as I know she and Charlie would have a grand time together! ;-)<br /><br />xxoo<br /><br />Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787074582148834510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-85009868307095447052013-03-29T06:08:42.516-04:002013-03-29T06:08:42.516-04:00Sounds strange, but your blog and book inspire my ...Sounds strange, but your blog and book inspire my painting. <br />I understand that it may be difficult to combine a holiday and a personal loss. I do hope that the support of so many people who love and admire you will make it easier. <br />I love the way your student worked on the "hopeless" piece. It is always good to find a new purpose or transformation for something that required time, work, and material; it is a wise way of "recycling" -- and fun!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005517826999307074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-19290815847795530132013-03-28T10:09:43.277-04:002013-03-28T10:09:43.277-04:00Hi, Rayna.

Following your techniques has allowed me to have so much fun with fabrics and designs. I don't find myself frustrated anymore because I know if I don't like what I just did I can easily change it. The no rules approach works so well for me. I have a stressful job and when I come home I get a bite to each, a cup of tea and head to my studio where I cut, sew, rearrange, etc., to my heart's content and am more excited by my work every day. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Also excited to know that you were recently at QA! I have gone to workshops at QA five different times, and I've come away from each class with new energy and new techniques to apply to my art quilts! I am so happy that your experience teaching at QA was a good one and that you liked the facilities and the administrators of the program! I hope you come back to Texas soon; I'd love to take a class from you!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-30374539703281964772013-03-28T08:46:23.832-04:002013-03-28T08:46:23.832-04:00Rayna, every time I see a quilt made using your te...Rayna, every time I see a quilt made using your techniques, I want to drop whatever I'm doing and go play with strips and blocks in my studio! They are such wonderful creations, and are a feast for the eyes!<br />I echo Connie's sentiments... it is good that you have family close by to help you through your loss by sharing memories of your Mom. And I hope Spring finds it's way to NJ soon!Judy Sall Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-6387793056302344672013-03-28T08:09:04.855-04:002013-03-28T08:09:04.855-04:00All I can say is WOW!
