Travel Inspired Quilt Contest

I don't have a Surface Design or Art Quilt group here in Colombia like I did in Florida...so I use my blog, Flickr and an occasional other means to get those pats on the back and words of encouragement that mean so much to me and help keep me wanting to do the next thing. I can't help it...that's the way I am.


And this is a great place to say a HUGE THANK YOU
free download from the web

to every one of you that read and comment on my blog. You probably know exactly what I mean when I say that it's hard to put into words how much it means to me! 

I also want to thank all of you that voted for my quilt!!!

I recently found Quilting Gallery and since they were having a Travel Inspired Quilt contest...I entered this quilt. (above)
taken while at the beach in Puerto Colombia
 I took a picture from a dock that used to go out 2 miles into the Caribbean - while visiting Puerto Colombia... before we moved here. (Part of the dock is now gone but much of it remains).
I don't have a picture of the dock but it's over there.
My son-in-law, Pedro used to live in this fishing village (Puerto Colombia) and is the reason we are all now living in the near-by city of Barranquilla. 
Pedro
He had a job waiting in Colombia so he brought my daughter and grand-baby with him, after he graduated with his PhD...and hubby and I had to follow them down ...because Sophia and I simply couldn't live that far apart.
Pedro's birthday is TOMORROW!
 Pedro!!!
Now...The reason I'm writing about this quilt today is two fold. First, I translated the picture I took with  fabric, thread and a little paint...
And gave it to Pedro for his birthday a couple years ago.


And...

the contest over at Quilting Gallery is for Travel Inspired Quilts so I entered Pedro's quilt...


and, as of right now, I'm in the lead!!! 


Is that cool or what?!?!?


So, please go vote for your favorite quilt 

and have a great day.

    Thanks Jennibellie! It's a thrill to see that others like my quilt! :) We lived in Virginia, then moved to Florida for 10 years before following the kids (really the grand-daughter) to where we now are. I just couldn't stand the thought of not seeing her.

    Keeping my fingers crossed that you win. It's another wonderful piece of art! And I agree on the blog comments and internet connections, they give our art practice just that little bit more to keep going. ;-)
