When I went to my local art supply store here in Bradenton, Florida on October 2nd for a
Zentangle ATC swap, I met Susan Stewart. The group was small, so it was easy to talk and I discovered that Susan was just learning about
Zentangle like me . . . and she was an art quilter -wow! We exchanged emails, and after a small delay because Susan's first email went into my junk folder . . . we made a date to meet, have lunch and share some art, oh what fun!
 |
| Susan had explored my websites + blogs and told me in an email she loved the "shades of white" quiltie swap I hosted in 2008. So, I found them in one of my boxes, unpacked them and brought them along -Susan was so pleased! |
 |
| Susan brought her more of her Zentangle ATCs to show me. She had tried adding color to these and was quite pleased. They look great! Click for more detail. |

| Susan brought some of her art quilts to share : )))) |

| Gorgeous!!! |

I shared an ARTchix fabric Book RR I hosted in 2004-2005.
This fabric book includes a page done by Helga Stauss, owner of ARTchix Studio! Susan had been to the ARTchix website and was excited to see this book and learn more about RR collaborations. |
 |
| Lastly, I shared all extra quilties given to me plus some I had traded by participating myself, in the "shades of sunshine" quilties swap, hosted in 2008. |
It was a really fun couple of hours and a delicious lunch, plus now I have a new local friend : ^ ) Thanks, Susan!

Sounds like you had a lovely afternoon and you are so lucky to find someone locally, that you can exchange art ideas with! I am sure some beautiful art will come of this.
As a result of your lunch Susan left a lovely message on my Picturetrail site and all I can say is: I so wish I could have been there too!!
