have been in this wonderful country since june 27th. went to a quilting meeting of 'accent quilters' (one of the reasons for their name is that each member of this group - almost - speaks with a different accent!)in herzlia 2 nights ago - some of the very well known israeli fiber artists belong to this group. an exciting, inspiring group
went to the israel museum and spent 4 hours in the william kentridge retrospective - much inspiration for 'fragemnts.' (he could actually inspire me to do alomst anything!)
climbed massada at 4.30am with many of our family who have come to israel from australia, south africa and england as well as the israeli ones. a wonderful experience in so many ways
have had a most priveleged summer
love to you all
The group blog of four quiltmakers and textile artists scattered around the world in 4 countries and across three continents. Our aim is to create a small quilt every three months. The theme is chosen by the members in turn. Our website is: www.12bythedozen.weebly.com
What a wonderful time you have had, connecting to family, to art, to the landscape and to everything that Israel means to you. We hope to see pictures when you return!
ReplyDeleteWe're looking forward to having you back Pam. Glad to hear that it's been a wonderful holiday. And now I know a little about Massada - that must have been fascinating.
