Hope this is not getting boring, but with a little down time and fast internet. I am able to finish the images I promised. Doors and windows. All of these images were photographed at the Kasbah of the Udayas. You go through a Massive gate way and the roads wind down to the sea front….

Morocco No 3.
Photographs of the things I viewed in the Souks. I finally sat and had a mint tea, grabbing the sun as much as I could. The last place I visited was the Museum and Gallery. I walked on tiles magnificent, trying to ignore my painful foot. On to the photography Museum, a delicious late lunch…
Morocco No 2.
Three countries later, and I have only just found time to add images of my Moroccan visit to the souks of Marrakech. Â The photos in this blog were taken the day I left for Nairobi, but I didn’t have time to edit them. Now, 2 countries later and situated in Cape Town I now have…
Textile styles in the making.
It’s taken me a while to write this story. Most of you on my blog, are quilters or love the art of Textiles. We have a textile advantage that we take for granted so today I share a story of art and experimental reinvention. Dena Crain a quilter from Kenya, taught the local ladies a…
Walk the Souks in Marrakech. – 1
Take a walk with me through the Souk in Marrakech, a photographic tour. Â We’ve been exposed to so many breathtaking things.

Spaghetti for Breakfast.
One of the things about travel… specially in the USA is that I can make one purchased meal last for three meals. Lunch at Olive Garden yesterday provided dinner and breakfast this morning. Yes, spaghetti for breakfast this morning. I stay in hotels for a large part of the year and I like to…
Tactile Architecture Quilts from the International Quilt Festival Houston
Buildings have a long history of inspiring the creative design of quilt makers/ In the 19th century, American quilters developed classic architecture patterns as Log Cabin, School house, and Brick Wall.
The little niggling things that pop up during travel.
8.30 am and we’ve had high drama this morning. We had a 6.00 am flight, so I set the alarm at 3.15 to leave for the airport at 4.00. All dressed, bags packed and I couldn’t find my passport folder. It’s always in my handbag but there was no sight of it. Unpack the four…
