CARIBBEAN QUILTERS

This weekend, beginning May 21st is The International Quilt Market Spring   held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. How I wish I could be there in the midst of all the latest Fabrics and technology in the fast growing world of Quilting. Instead, as I drive along the coast of our island I enjoy the simplicity of life....... A Little Shop on the roadside...it's Sunday...they are closed. JAMAICA JAMAICA I find inspiration from the colours of nature and reflect on the times when I am in search for that one piece of fabric that going to make my Quilt 'pop' -better known as the 'wow' fabric. I look yonder... JAMAICA                                                            ...

There is something soothing about quilting by the seaside, the waves lapping on the sand bringing its own form, only for a moment, returning back to sea to revolve again. We are always revolving. I am quilting away making lap size quilts to throw on chairs in my Beach House. Yes, I know Quilts in a Beach House! Quilts adds such warmth to a home and today, the quilting fabrics are so amazing! Runaway Bay, JAMAICA I finally completed my Blue and White Quilt, which I made for someone who is very dear to my heart. She loves Blue and White! Christmas came and went and I had not finished her gift...it's never too late.. a gift from the heart that touches the soul  of someone dear to you is whats important. The month of April is fine! and so it was......... 'Stars' Quilt pieced by 'Carolyn' Kingston, JAMAICA Life is so precious, each day is a gift to be treasured, each moment to be enjoyed. Yesterday is the past - its gone, today is the presence - its here...
