Hello from Toronto!
I am here for the Quilt Canada Festival, planning to photograph the quilts tomorrow. Tonight was the award ceremony (I gave the award for best Modern Quilt) and I can’t wait to share photos of some of these beautiful works of quilt art!
Lately I’ve been really missing Cuba, so I’ve been playing Cuban jazz (Buena Vista Social Club, etc.) in my studio while I work on my next quilt project. For those of you who traveled with me on one of my Cuba tours in the last couple years, I know you can relate the magic of that moment when you are watching your first Havana Sunset reflected on the Caribbean waters, with a fresh minty Mojito in hand, and a Cuban Salsa band playing live music in the background.
Our Cuban Retro Cars are back in stock, and we have some stunning digital beach sunset panels now too, so I thought I’d have fun with a Cuban-themed fabric collage tonight.
Next week I am going to film a couple more segments for the PBS show “Fresh Quilting” for Modern Quilters. In case you missed my first couple clips, here is a segment from the show where I talk about Cuban Colors and Cuban Retro Cars.
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
