I've had a few queries about this amazing floor… "The Byzantine Church of St. Cosmos and St. Damian, twin brother doctors who were martyred in the 4th century, has the most splendid floor mosaics to be seen in Jerash. An inscription dates the mosaic to 553 AD."

I’m historied out folk.
This was our last day of historic sight seeing and we visited the river Jordan where it has been said Jesus was baptized. The site has been authenticated by all major Christian Church leaders as one of the three holiest sites of Christianity, along with Bethlehem and Jerusalem. John the Baptist lived here for about…
‘D’ for design.
I finished a couple more designs for the 'D' stash. These were the montains we passed yesterday, stark, rugged and fabulous quilting lines. I'm not quite sure where the idea is going BUT… it's down in the book.!!! Now just what is that tall stack of rocks on top of the mountain? Lots wife…
Designing as I travel.
Designing as I travel is the way I come up with ideas for new projects. I have more ideas and drawings than I could ever use…(just like my fabric stash) I've thought of putting them in a book so others can use them… ——————————————————————– I photographed this leaf in the botanic gardens in Nebraska.

I’m not a good tourist.
I’m wrote this in the car as we traveled from Aqaba the Southern most city in Jordan to the Dead Sea. It’s 10 minutes to four in the afternoon and the sun has already gone down behind the mountains. We’re traveling through the desert. In this light everything appears white, the landscape is washed with…

That’s the day folk.
We're still in Petra and the internet is very slow despite the high price. I reckon by the time I get home I could purchase an internet tower. Don't tell anyone, but I met my match today. A three mile ride on a camel is not all it's cut out to be. My legs are…
The coffee is the best.
I guess I shouldn't complain, but the internet is rather slow here in the middle of the desert, so it's difficult to put photos into the blog….. Stop whinging Pam. !!!!! But other than the experience of the trip and the different sights we've seen, I'm really enjoying the Turkish coffee experience. It's strong, sweet…
Talking Textiles
Today I looked at, and bought a Keffiyah for my son Jinda. I love the fabric, and I love the weave and color. When I'm in Dubai and have more time I will look at them again. I wanted to know more about it and I found this great article by Rebecca Fudulah from the…
So they tell me that whatever, I put on the blog won't go up on facebook…. now how do I change that?
