Back from my trip, with images from home.
These are quilt patterns made of colored tile that my dad had in-laid into brick on our driveway when our house in Dumaguete was built over 10 years ago.
These two specifically are Dresden plates, my grandma’s signature patterns.
I’m still a bit sentimental looking at these, being over 7,000 miles away. Every time I visit home, these are the first images that greet me. They always remind me of where I come from, and the fabric in history that I continue to stitch my days in.
Just getting back to blogging today, but hope to get back into the swing of things pretty soon. I may have been away, but I’ve been busy with stuff to blog about! How have all of you been?

Love these patterns! Especially the Dresden plates! Looks like crafting in some form runs in the family.
