Brie, quince paste, crackers, cappuccino, tomato soup and Dixit Dominus by Cozzolani through the earphones and I'm set for the next 3 hours before I get on the plane and retire for the night. I'm in a world of my own… its the way I like it when I travel. It my small bubble of…

travel.
One of the things about travel is the inevitable 'travel purchase' I don't do 'tourist travel' very much, but I have fallen into the trap of a little 'bazaar blindness' at times. Its a lesson I think most people who live on the road need to learn and I'm still practicing. I walk into a…

Using the computer for quilting patterns and ideas.
I use my computer as a reference for the patterns of many of my quilts.I thought you might like to see the process and the results. For instance take this photo below. It is a set of dishes I bought at a store called Anthropologie. The photo isn't spectacular but the pattern is interesting. I…
