DISPATCH:
A message or report sent in haste, like a journalist’s report from a distant location.
While I may not be traveling to any “distant location” right now, I did end this week a little short on time for any long or involved post. First, I taught July’s 5-Day Live Online Class via Zoom from my studio here in Harpswell, Maine. Second, I gathered together final photos from June’s Maine Revival Retreat at the Harpswell Inn. It’s been a very full week—but as they say, life is good.
My report on the online class will be written soon. My report on the Harpswell Inn class is ready to be wrapped up with today’s post—a collection of photos sure to entertain you—images of impressive fabric collage artwork that students brought with them to show and share during class, such as LeahGrace Kayler’s loving portrait of her friend Carl and his cat (photo above).
Read previous posts covering this June class in: an introductory photo-filled dispatch; a Part 1 post celebrating the collage projects of the first half of this revival class; a look back to 12 past Maine retreats; and the Part 2 post covering the collage projects of the second half of the class.
Show & Share at the Harpswell Inn
Our show and share moment came on a mid-week afternoon—served with my husband Tom’s world-renowned Maine Wild Blueberry Pie, and my mom’s equally world-renowned cheesecake. That part of our gathering was over quickly.

Let The Show Begin
I’ve been working with LeahGrace Kayler for years online. She is an amazing artist with a beautiful touch working with fabric. What a lovely treat to not only meet her in-person for the first time, but to see her fantastic work in real-life as well.
