UNCLE BOO'S GARDEN



Slowly, but surely


I'm getting these pictures of the progress of my fabric book


 into the blogosphere.

We leave for the States on Wednesday...


 where I'll teach a fabric book workshop in Florida


 after we visit our son in Texas.


 Since I am now the happy owner of a MacBook Pro laptop


 I'll do my best to stay current with my blog


 and yours.



But in case you don't hear from me for awhile...

You know where I'll be.
Only...the beach I'll be at is in FL...Not Colombia.
Create Your Life,


annie!

      Thanks Ariel! I will have a great trip. :) Years ago, I made a quilt entitled Uncle Boo's Garden - and when I tried to print out the label, I got several rejects. One of those rejects ended up on this page because the butterflies and flowers reminded me of a garden. ") Thanks for being so observant…and asking! :)

    Well, annie, Ariel asked the question that I have been wondering too. Love your answer too. My fave thing is those sequin flowers. Just yesterday before seeing your flickr I was looking around for some wayward sequins for an eye for a flamingo. I already knew where the beads were. No sequins. Must get a supply! Happy trip!

      Thanks Annie. :) I didn't mention that the original quilt was named Uncle Boo's Garden after my favorite Uncle…who passed away shortly after I began the quilt. I ended up thinking about him so much during the making of it…that it just had to be for him. You wouldn't believe the collection of sequins I own. Ridiculous. Most, if not all of them, were purchased at yard sales for pennies. And PS - I have used snaps as flowers before…and earring backs and of course, buttons. Whatever I have…if I can attach it...is put to use.

    I wish I could take that workshop with you. Your fabric book is gorgeous (I know I keep saying that, but it keeps being true, so what can you do?) ;-) Have a good time in the States!

    Have a great trip, annie! and enjoy it. Like the others I would love to be at your workshop, playing with fabrics. Your book pages look lovely, I especially like the double spread with the combinations of colours and patterns.

      Thank you Sheila! We will and we WILL! I wish you could be there too. That'd be awesome. The hardest part for me…and it really isn't hard…is deciding which pages will fit together best once I'm finished…because rarely do I plan any continuity. Thanks for your compliment!

      Isn't life wonderful? :) The picture of the beach in this post is of Playa Mendoza…which we found recently…and LOVE. It's the only clean beach with clear water that we've seen near Barranquilla. We can go year round because it NEVER dips below 75degrees…even in the middle of the night. We're heading to St Pete Beach…which is also a year round beach…and one of the most beautiful areas on this planet.
