We come to the end of another La Veta Quilt Retreat today. Talk about inspiration! Wow! I'm always amazed at the diversity of work that comes from these events. You would think after having done so many that I would become jaded, but no, I'm still inthralled with all the spectacular works that evolve over the week.
My retreats are intended to foster your vision and my personal goal is to get you further down the road on your personal journey. Because of this, there is no set curriculum. Having said that, there is plenty of learning going on. It's not a come-work-on-your-own-thing-without-any-guidance retreat. I'm very involved in each person's project and offer as much help as they need/want.
Sharon had taken photos of old abandoned cars and trucks. We worked using a technique I call scribble applique. We used her original photo of the truck, flipped and superimposed it on an old gas station photo, then enlarged it to the proper size for her project. Pretty cool don't you think?
However, the surprise for most folks is the depth of soul searching that goes on. Each morning starts with talks and journal writing. This group was excellent at sharing their thoughts and insights on creativity as well as life. At each retreat the parting is bittersweet. I hope you will put a retreat on your calendar.
