Road Home Row Along Quilt Show N Tell Day

It's been an amazing journey to visit all the different "homes" of various bloggers.

Thank you to Marian from Seams To Be Sew for gathering us all together!

Today is Show n Tell day of a few quilters who made their rows into a quilt.

I made a quilt with just four of my favorites. It was so hard to pick just four!

Since I'm no world traveler and haven't been to hardly any of those places featured,

I chose four rows that made me smile and were mostly applique, which I love to do.

Row 1: Road Home To Vegas is my row. I love that town!

You can find this row at my pattern store on Craftsy.

Row 2: Road Home to Heber Valley, Utah, on the Heber Creeper. 

I've actually seen this train, which isn't really red, but doesn't it look great in that color!

You can find this row over at Deonn's blog, Quiltscapes.

Row 3: Road Home to Northern Rivers Region, NSW, Australia.

I've never been to Australia, but it looks just like the beaches I enjoy when I visit California.

It looks so peaceful!

You can find this row by Sue Griffith who posted on my blog when she shared the row, HERE.

Row 4: The Road Home to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I have to admit I've never been to see this amazing balloon show, but I need to!

The pictures I've seen of all the balloons are just gorgeous.

You can find this row by Daryl of Patchouli Moon HERE.

The beautiful quilting on my Road Home quilt was done by Quilted Works. 

I was so happy with it!

The Road Home With Sue

Today I'm sharing my blog with Sue Griffiths who will be sharing her Road Home row.
I love having her here today!

The Road Home...by Sue Griffiths

What a wonderful idea and so evocative. Since we are small children ‘going home’ has meant that special sense of comfort and belonging, and the road home is always good to see after a hard day at work, or a long trip. My road home has changed a lot over the years, but wherever I’ve been, the drive home has always been time to reflect and relax and enjoy the beauty of the world. Now, when I leave work, here’s my first top spot.

Often, we can see whales passing up and down the coast, travelling in small groups, mothers looking after calves, males pushing each other around. Always, the view of a whale is a small miracle. 

Often we see pelicans, perched on lampposts or swimming in the bay, both stately and bizarre with their large beaks and slow flight. The pandanus trees just say beach with their weird roots and shaggy angular bundles of leaves. And of course the surfers just live in the moment of water, movement, power, freedom and skill.

So my road home is a celebration of life and joy and our wonderful planet. I hope you enjoy making my pattern and can think of all the happy times you have been near the sea or enjoyed being part of the natural world.

You can find my pattern at my Craftsy store HERE.

A BIG thank you to Calibre Art and Anita Goodesign!

The Road Home To Vegas

We all have a place we call "home" even if we don't live there now.
Marian of Seams To Be Sew and Amy from Sew Incredibly Crazy
gathered together several designers to create rows of their "homes."
Nice job, Marian and Amy...thank you for your hard work!

Las Vegas will always be my home.

I grew up in Las Vegas with my three sisters.

I was married in Las Vegas...like a gazillion other people.

My children and their children started their lives in Las Vegas.

I love Las Vegas!

Here's my row:
The Road Home to Vegas

Finished Row: 12" x 40"

The pattern for "The Road Home to Vegas" can be found HERE.

One thing I can never go back to do is to spend a night at our honeymoon hotel in Vegas.

It's been imploded!
