One never knows when inspiration will strike.  During the fall of 2008 I traveled through the Quercy region of southwestern France.  It is an area known for agriculture, vineyards, lavendar, slow cooking, and languid rivers.  I was in awe of the beautiful colors and textures of the countryside, and came home with hundreds of photographs and many ideas for handwoven fabrics.  I loosely call the resulting pieces the "Colors of Quercy" collection, and they are denoted by the word "Quercy" in the title.
