Textiles and travel stories. Antigua Guatemala.

Jim West and I are doing a little research into Textile Tours for Textile Artists and both of us arrived in Antiqua yesterday. Jim had the trip from hell that sounded like a bad movie, mine began at 3.30 am and I arrived at 10.00 pm. It was a really long day, and we didn’t catch up until breakfast.

3 weeks ago I came to Mexico to share my ideas and quilting techniques to both Artists and Quilters alike. I have a history in Mexico going back 8 years now. I’m very lucky to have made so many wonderful friends here. I love everything, the art, the people, the designs, the food and of course the color.

The Procession of Silence on Good Friday in Morelia.

It was an experience I will never forget. The huge crowd stood in silence occasionally you could hear a whisper. It was a poignant reminder of the passing of time.

My photos are an expression of what I saw as I walked for a few hours. I hope they give you a small glimpse of interesting things.

To be older.

I’ve learned that when I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I’ve learned that everyday you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug or just a pat on the back.
