We are known for our music...We love our music.....

Last night my hubby and I went to Jazz & Blues Festival ..

to see... ..Celine Dion....

CELINE DION - JAMAICA JAZZ & BLUES FESTIVAL 2012, JAMAICA

We were so fortunate to get so close to the stage...
The show was AMAZING!!

Here we were....25/30ft from an artiste 
with an incredible voice, a lady, 
someone who's so natural and  filled with inner beauty. 

Celine Dion was awesome!

I took these photos with my phone ( technology today!)

I so wanted to enjoy the moment, 
live in the present and enjoy

Celine Dion's true gift.....hence..no more photos!

Jamaicans are unique....singing along with Celine Dion...

videoing her performance......

I am quite certain Celine was overwhelmed

Jamaicans love her!!!

Enjoy each day...its a gift!

INTEGRITY

'How you are in the Dark is how you are in the Light'...

Getting to know oneself is a constant journey as

each day brings new experiences.

As we take a walk through life, we have a responsibility not only to ourselves

but to those whom we inspire knowingly or unknowingly.

be true to yourself and let your star shine. 

Quilters are so happy to share with others, so openly and freely.

The act of giving not only warms the hearts of others

but warms the heart of the one who gives.

Thank you Nicole for sharing your joy 

with CaribbeanQuilters and her visitors.

 Happy Quilting

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

I must be the last in the Blogger's World to wish you all a 

Happy New Year!

2012 feels really good!....

In the Blogger's Quilting World a lot is happening.

The artistry of Quilting is mushrooming

taking us all into different zones....

How Wonderful and Exciting!

There is no better place to be for Christmas 

than being with our children and respective companions. 

Last but not least, our grandson Jacob.

We ate, drank, laughed and played.

God is good....

I designed this quilt for Jacob using 

Bunny Hill Design by Ann Sutton - 'Lily and Will'.

when I had finished 'quilting' the quilt, 

I was so excited to give my daughter, 

I neglected to take a photo....a no! no! in my book!

It is so important to sign and document your Quilts,

As we say in Jamaica "baby turn grannie's head fool".....no denial....

  Living in Jamaica is not without its challenges...

I think I must be the only one...thus far...who has the latest Bernina.

(hopefully in time....my students who are doing amazingly....

will want Bernina quilting machines)

We have some original Bernina Sewing Machines... going very strong!!

Hence......

I take my machine to a lovely Quilt Store in Florida to be serviced.

Unfortunately, it needed a part..

due to the Christmas rush it has been 4 weeks!!!

Ever wondered why Quilters have several machines..... 

I do have one more..but...hint..hint..

The 'attachment' trap...Oh yes...that's me...

I get attached to my machine, 

to my fabrics, to my notions, to my quilts......

I await patiently for my call ...to jump on the flight.....

In the meantime...

My stash is being reorganized....

Ready for the moment........

HAPPY NEW YEAR
