The Santa Fe Workshop

 It is hard to believe that our Santa Fe ,New Mexico workshop has come and gone.
Working on art, meeting new friends, eating great food,exploring, shopping (of course) , in a unique setting that is rich in culture,history and the arts= Santa Fe,NM.
All of us, Helen Shafer Garcia, Laurie Mika, Jane LaFazio and Lynn Leahy had a fabulous time teaching this workshop to a talented and enthusiastic group of women. We saw old friends from previous workshops and met many new ones from all over the world. Some samples of their work is revealed in these pictures.
They all came together in beautiful "quilt like" squares that we tried to capture as one large textile photo.
More photo's to come....
