Greetings Monday! What a difference a week can make.
Today I woke up and was able to sit at my new computer and feel quite at home -- my morning ritual of coffee and checking what is happening -- seeing familiar screens and having them work... makes me feel very grateful.
Last week the bulk of work bringing in new pcs in to replace recently crashed systems began in earnest, and it was right around Wed. when I knew I needed some Sanity-Saving-Stitching.
A design recently worked up was kind of tucked into my bag as I left the house. A quick trip to the depot & the design was enlarged, ready to go -- awaiting only that stack of yummy fabrics.
The process began and little by little the time was taken to cut, stitch and trim my way to this quilt top. It was inspired from my Caribbean trip --- way back in March, and some fabrics purchased then along with others found closer to home. I can hardly wait to start the quilting and embellishing!
Hope you enjoy the quilt top - process pics & a few of the trip photos that left me wanting to have some of this wonderful color around me always.

DeleteI love the story and images behind this quilt. I see the umbrellas and the houses and the tropical breeze. And the. Looks are not bad either.
ReplyDeletethanks Joanell -- I kind of feel like I'm standing back on the boardwalk in St.Thomas and I'm longing to get stitching on this!
DeleteYour site fills me with possibilities, my memories of various trips further fuel my creativity. Thanks for helping me on my way. After much reflection I have realized I need time off from the whirl of the atmosphere and need to turn my attention to my space and find the quilting faireys who serve as my muse back into my life. You are one of my favorite in the quilting category.
