You’re invited to Zoot!
Zoot you say? That’s the wonderful coffee house here in downtown Camden (hours and directions at the end of the post) where my friend Jan P. and I just hung a show of textile art / art quilts for the month of October. Here’s a picture of the little thing I made for Zondra (actually, I think it is Sondra?), the owner, and the customer side of the latte bar:
Zoot definitely has the best coffee on the mid-Coast of Maine, even better than Starbucks! Every month Zondra has a new exhibit, and Jan and I are thrilled to be this month’s show! I made a number of new, smaller (and therefore affordable for Christmas gift giving, including to yourself!) pieces which I’ll be sharing here and on my website over the next few days. I’m happy to ship, too (hint hint!).
Jan and her photographer-husband have a newly launched website, From Photos to Fiber. They sell his photographs and Jan is working on commissioned pieces of people’s family members, pets and buildings. Check out the quilt of Ollie, their rapscallion dog…far left in the next photo.
Here’s a view of the left side of the main space, a sunny area with big picture windows facing Elm Street:
Here’s Jan in front of three of my pieces, which are on the short wall facing the front door:
Here’s the back area, with two of my pieces on the left, Jan’s three on the right, and our hanging stuff and jackets on the chairs and tables!
Here’s a closeup with one of Jan’s “house portraits” on the left, and a Trio of small tea pieces and my “Tea” on the center and right. 
I’ll be posting my new pieces, including prices, both on my website and here over the next week or ten days. Hope you like!
Directions and hours:
Open 6:30-5, M-Sat, and 7-5 on Sunday
On Elm Street in downtown Camden, between the Rite Aid and Town Offices, opposite the village green. If you are driving north on Route 1, the old Atlantic Coast Highway, it runs right through town (Elm Street turns into Main Street turns into High Street, all within 4 blocks!); Zoot would be on your left a block or so past the flashing stoplight at the First Congregational Church (intersection of Union and Elm).
My favorite is a double latte, and love the croissants, lunchtime savories and pie!

Many congratulations to you and Jan! Please say hi to her for me – we were both in the Annapolis Quilt Guild a few years ago (well, more like 9 or 10 for me). I don’t know if she remembers me, but the fact that she was able to work and still quilt with 3 boys really impressed me.
Also, how fabulous that you’ll be teaching at Paducah – way to go!
