Back to School!

     I am back to school this week.  As you may know, last January I decided to take advantage of being retired, healthy and curious to do something I always wanted to do.  After earning a BA degree in Psychology with a minor in Economics, and a few years later, a JD, I am now pursuing another degree - this time an AS in Fine Arts.  I am taking just two classes a semester at the moment, and with certain electives waived, I should finish in another few years.  I took Drawing 1 and 2D design last semester, and learned so much, and enjoyed the whole experience tremendously.  This semester is both Color Theory and Painting 1.  I can't wait to get started playing with colors in paints instead of fabrics! It was so great to be a returning student - not nearly as frightening as walking in that first day last January!
    Before I started classes, I got a project finished and sent off that will be revealed in early January 2019.  I was able to use these beautiful fabrics from the Sugar Sack collection by Whistler Studios from Windham Fabrics.  Gorgeous fabrics, and so sunny to work with!  I can't wait until the project can be revealed.  In the meantime, I know I will be busy with art projects, so I have scheduled another quilt retreat weekend at the end of the month to make sure I get my sewing in!
    Enjoy the rest of the summer!
Take care,
Gretchen
