I Like #257
Welcome to another week of things to like! I drove home to New Mexico this weekend to return my mom's car to her after finally getting mine back. She was glad to have it and it was great to see my parents and other family.
Lovely sunset on the drive home.

Welcome to another week of things to like!
It's a bit hard to like anything right now after the horrifying (but I guess not surprising) leaked draft Supreme Court Ruling. Let's just set the clock back 50 years why don't we? It's just horrible horrible horrible horrible.
In other news, this week has been the annual SAQA virtual conference, and that has been wonderful. It kicked off with an amazing keynote speech by artist Janet Echelman. Her work is absolutely amazing, and if you haven't seen it before, I encourage you to check it out.

The SAQA conference in general has been really great. Lots of great talks, studio tours, lightning talks, chatting/networking/friend making sessions, etc.
Also a couple of really good things on the forefront for some of my artist friends:
Kathy Suprenant (also a cell biologist scientist) currently has a solo show at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum called What Did Ming Miss. I'm so excited for her, it's a really great group of pieces, and she's giving a free, open-to-the-public Zoom talk about it this Sunday May 8, at 3PM ET. I'd encourage you to go if you're available, it should be really cool! You can read more about the series and pieces in the show here.

In European quilt news, my friend Jette Clover has a solo show for the month of May at the Galerie Zone-Galerie Voor Kunst en Vormgeving in Leiden in the Netherlands. If any of you are going to be traveling in that area this month, definitely stop in and see it, her work is wonderful.
In more local news, Cash came over to play with Spooky this week and all three dogs had a great time. Spooky and Blue are going to New Mexico this weekend to stay for the rest of the month while I have some work travel, so it was good to get to play with Cash some more before going. Blue was there too- he just didn't get in the picture.
