Where do you travel? How do you get there? Do you stop long enough to let the journey inspire you?
Let me introduce you to Island Batik’s Florida Oranges collection. It screams BRIGHT, FUN, and ADVENTUROUS! These fabrics are currently available at your local quilt shops. Search HERE.
Instead of putting trains and automobiles on the quilts… I decided to put the quilts on trains and automobiles. Fabulous old trains and cars how could I resist the temptation!!!
A huge ♥THANK YOU♥ to the Texas Transportation Museum for indulging me. We had a fun morning browsing all the exhibits at this wonderful, all volunteer museum in San Antonio, Texas.
This is such a bright, happy quilt. Show off all the yummy fabrics in this collection with a simple pattern and large blocks.
These colorful little houses are a whimsical reminder that no matter how far you travel “there’s no place like home”. To all the fire departments out there…We LOVE you guys!
Maybe a crazy nine patch pattern for a bit of wonky adventure is more your style. This is one of my favorite fast, fun patterns that you just have to try.
Crazy 9-patch pattern on Craftsy.
OK… I’m just in love with this photo. The rivets, rust, and grid of the signs with the bright little houses is just too cool. I’m going to frame and hang this one.
I wish you many fun travels. Remember…take time to let the journey inspire you!!

I special ♥THANK YOU♥ to my wonderful friends from the M & E quilting bee (that’s meet and eat) for making these quilts while I wasn’t able to sew. You all rock!!!!

Those colors are gorgeous.
Fun seeing the quilts on trains, etc.
It's neat how you decided to put the quilts on the transportation instead of the transportation on the quilts! Very clever :)
Love those batiks, but I don't do facebook for personal reasons.
