Can you leave quilting behind when you travel?  I apparently cannot.  I was recently in the Yorkshire Dales in the UK. It is a beautiful area.  Every little bit is lovely. My camera was extremely busy. Not surprising, there were some days when my eye was completely taken up by possible quilting patterns. At Bolton Abbey, these patterns were everywhere.

Is quilting the new grave stone rubbing?

I’ve only just started drawing these, in an attempt to make them one line for my quilting.  I’m not the greatest at drawing so I won’t show you my first attempts.  On top of that I need to break it down into one continuous line for quilting.  Needless to say, it’s a project, but what wonderful ideas in one small part of Yorkshire!  And because, I can’t resist:

This reminds me of an old Victorian painting, which is on the tip of my tongue, but apparently will remain there…of cows grazing in a old cemetery.  Can anyone identify the painting for me?

And, of course, the celebration of

The Tour de France.  Now to get back to drawing…  Happy quilting.
