In June 2005, just after we went to Austin to meet up with the WWSF, The EGE and I left on our first Big-Ass Road Trip, this one to Seattle for Art Fiber Fest and then down the west coast to Ventura, California, where I used to live, and then on to Irvine to meet
Sharilyn Miller, my editor from
Stampington, and then home. 17 days, 4822 miles. It seemed like a huge trip at the time.
We had no clue about the 8002-mile road trip that awaited us in 2010~~
So here is the Journal Skirt from that trip. I made the skirt beforehand and had people draw and write on it, and when we got home, I transferred photos to fabric and appliqued those, painted, stitched, embellished, etc. You'll see some familiar names and faces--look, there's
Ty and Marcia!

debbie who wishes she was going to An Artful Journey next year and could see you. I went last year and had a great time. Cindy is wonderful! (It could be like old times at AFF when we woke up at the crack of beejesus to stitch and laugh and drink tea!)
