Inspiration While Traveling

The last couple of weeks have really been a blur.  Full of fun, family time, and lots of laughs.  This kid had a blast and that is all that matters.

Let’s not forget the wine, beer and food.  During our last trip to California my pregnancy with P limited my ability to sample some amazing beers and wines.  This time I had a list of what I wanted to try before we left.

I left my machine at home and really tried to focus on everything around me. Sewing is such a part of my everyday life that this was a challenge.  A few minutes everyday of creativity is necessary for me.

I found inspiration in a variety of places.  Reminds me of Heather Jones’ approach with Quilt Local.  Some of these may become projects, others may not.  Hope you enjoy.
