Day #2: A visit to Joan Schulz studio & Yvonne Porcella in Modesto


We began our morning with a brief stop at the studio of Joan Schulz, the mixed media textile artist who juried the Federation show in Dallas 20007.  Joan's studio is a thing of wonder:  any artist would turn green with envy at the space & wonderful natural light she enjoys.

We drove up to Modesto, enjoying the lush green landscape enroute.
Seeing Yvonne, who looks SO good for only being 6 weeks post-op and well into her chemotherapy, was a high point of the trip.

  3. Lois, thanks for sending a block. I think Yvonne "feels the love" in that quilt. I'm so happy about that.
