Asian Influence

Yesterday, I cut fabric for an Asian-style quilt.  Will wonders never cease.  I never thought I would ever do anything with Asian fabrics because they are not my style.  I had great fun selecting the fabric for what will be a wall hanging for the office of a health care provider of mine. 

The pattern is beautiful in its simplicity; a large center panel with a lovely female figure, surrounded by flying white cranes and green foliage, with an inner and outer border.  The Asian fabrics I selected are spectacular; the colors are rich and complex.  

I am starting to sew this quilt today.  It's a quiet Monday in Loomis.  I long to be home - quilting away - with my doggies at my side.  I feel so blessed to have this time in life, which I owe to my precious husband.
