Bottles on a shelf

I have always loved the shape of bottles……wine, liquor, olive oil, beer, ketchup…..you name it, I love it!!!

This photo was taken while on a trip to Italy back in 2010…….

We spent 3 days in Tuscany, visiting with a lovely couple who lived in an amazing villa. If you want to read more about the trip…..

Our private Agritourismo

Anyway…..this photo reminds me of those wonderful 3 days.

If you were going to turn this into a quilt….what would you do??

Circles on the brain

As you can tell from my posts this past weekend, I currently have circles on my brain!!!

And look at this fun block…..

It has a similar quality to the one that I played with…..

Maybe I need to play some more!!!

Henna Tattoo Inspiration

Back in 2016, we spent several weeks in India and one of my goals for the trip was to get a Henna Tattoo.

I came home with this sweet design……

As I watched her work, I was reminded that this was nothing but a series of free-motion quilting designs!!!

I even made a quilt using that idea……

….but that is for another day and another post.

The bottom line is that we can ALWAYS find inspiration in tattoos….Henna or otherwise!!

If you are interested in the story of my Henna tattoo, including some videos of the artist at work, check out this post…..

It’s like doodling….but on skin
