Happiness is.... seeing that my young married daughter brought a quilt on vacation... this is "Steps to the Altar" which I made in 2014 for her wedding. I blogged about it here on my old blog (no idea now why I felt the need to start over in blogging, ergh)
FUN... to find a couple of quilt store gems while on vacation in Utah:
Amusing... to find a crazy-quilt of a door to a great Mexican restaurant, The Red Iguana in SLC. YES, worth the wait!
Gratifying.... to see a Faith Ringgold gem at the BYU Museum of Art:
AND THIS!!!
That is my son way in the background. I love sharing art museum visits with my kids!
And lastly.... check out this charming piece... hanging in the house we are moving to ... soon! I don't think the current owners are leaving it behind... too bad;).
This summer I slept under several quilts I had made long ago. One was the wedding quilt made for Son Jon's Hawaiian wedding. Nice memories....
ReplyDeleteBlanket Stories was my favorite piece at the BYUMOA!
ReplyDeleteI love that your daughter brought along her quilt.
It is a wonderful feeling to know that our children appreciate the quilts we make for them. I love the "Blanket Stories". I do wonder how they are "stabilized". Must be the quilter in me, I can't just enjoy a piece without wondering how they made it!
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of ways to look at the world but one of the best is there the eyes of a quilter. Thanks for sharing some fun things.
ReplyDeleteI love the stacked quilt totem - what a beautiful idea. Thanks for sharing these pictures!
