Stelio on stage again

You already know that I get help from mine when writing lyrics sherpa / tourist agency / webmaster / photographer / ecc. , and if you want to know more I refer you to postApocalisse (o dell’uomo invisibile)” always present in this blog.
What you may not know is that he enjoys writing, both prose and poetry, and who manifests this literary streak on his blog www.ultimelune.it.
Just as the textile artist feels the desire to give a concrete and permanent form to his artistic imagination, so he, every now and again, find the courage to report on paper too (o su Kindle) what until then was only part of the vast ocean of byte named internet.
Once again it is a collection of short stories, but less melancholy than usual, or at least not all.
Da_non_credere_01Since there is no hope of finding a publishing house willing to print the texts of an unknown emeritus, as with the previous books, he took the path of self-publishing, once again on the platform Amazon, and this is the link to the relevant page, otherwise known as link.

Caution is never too much

Non so voi, but I am quite alarmed by the finding that the Coronavirus pandemic has no intention of leaving us alone.
The Festival of Quilts in Birmingham has already been skipped, as well as Patchwork Sitges in Catalonia, il Carrefour Européen du Patchwork in Alsazia, the Prague Patchwork Meeting in Bohemia, and who knows how many other exhibitions that I don't know yet. There would be the Austrian Quilt Fest in October, ma, as the title of the post, I don't feel like taking risks.
Apparently there are those who do not consider it dangerous to organize events of strong appeal, even if these events take place indoors, with what might ensue.
In this regard, I refer you below to an article in the blog ultimelune.it , where some observations are made that should make us reflect.

Niente da fare

TravelThis spring's schedule was tempting.
It started with a trip to Catalonia, for the sixteenth edition of the International Patchwork Festival, a Sitges, a beautiful corner of the world near Barcelona.
Then my travel agency would drive me off to Andalusia, to Granada, to admire the Alhambra and taste the local delicacies.
Madrid would follow, art and history galore, and the suggestive Toledo. From there then off to Vienna for some interesting galleries that I was always promised to visit.
Dulcis in fundo, Bohemia was waiting for me, for the Prague Patchwork Meeting, where one of my works would finally be exhibited.
In program, in late April, an escape to Beaujolais also awaited me, for the Biennale of Textile Art, with beautiful quilt made by artists from all over the world, and among these there was also one of my favorites, or Irina Voronina.
