Addressing and Dressing the Artist

 

What a week! I have been playing telephone tag and email tag with Camille Gavin, who writes for the Bakersfield Californian, our local newspaper. She wants to interview me for an article in the “Arts Alive” section that comes out on Thursdays. Of course, I can barely be reached by phone because I am working so darn much. Finally the interview morphed into a series of emails and attachments, which was better for me. I really like to think before I answer questions.

As far as interviews go, I have to say that I was impressed with Camille’s questions. She delved more into my artistic process rather than asking questions like, “How many quilts have you made?” and “What is your favorite color”. I will be interested to see how she puts it all together in her article.

Meanwhile, I have been scrambling around here, wondering what I am going to wear to the quilt show. I need two outfits—one for each day.

I picked up a couple scarves today since they have become so popular. My assistant at work has offered to teach me how to tie them.

I really don’t know what I would do without that sweet girl.

Just got another email from Camille. Looks like Yogini is going to be in the newspaper. Funny cat!

  1. How exciting for you, Kay. Can't wait to read that article when it publishes. Cool.
    I really like the orange open-weave and the orange & black (beads?) scarves. Here's a chart for scarf tying to give you a jump on how you may like them to look.

    1. Thanks, the colors are not reading true on these. What looks to be orange is more of a reddish burgundy in reality. The open weave is the scarf. The beaded fabric beneath it is the blouse I am wearing with it. I couldn't believe it matched so closely because I did not have the forethought to take the blouse with me when I went shopping.

      Thanks for the link. I will definitely check that out. I need all the help I can get right now.

  2. This is such a neat event for you Kay. The scarves are lovely. I am excited for you and just know the article will represent you well and of course Yogini already does. Like they say in theater (I taught drama)-Break a Leg!

  3. My daughter has started wearing scarves...I saw a video on tying them just a while back.

    I have a scarf I wear more like a shawl when I am chilled...it is much better than wearing a sweater, etc.
