Textiles

Since I couldn't blog a lot while I was away I am going to share a few more photos from my trip before I get back into sewing ...so I hope your not too bored. One of my aims was to investigate the indian weaving and textile history....
Most of these were taken between Williams on route 66, the Grand Canyon and Scottsdale in Arizona.

Found in Scottsdale

Hopi House - Grand Canyon

Hopi House which housed the beautiful work below 

The following beauties were in a museum in Williams 

Mexico also had many different textile products to show mostly weaving and embroidery using very large satin stitches 

 A book cover from our hotel room - just loved it 

Done in large satin stitch with some chain 

Amazing beautiful , bright colours.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the mum's out there....Hope you got breakfast cooked for you this morning.
My darling hubbie bought me breakfast in bed today....

I thought I would search my photos for pictures of the mums in my family... One Sis in law is missing because she hates photos but she should be here , mum of two and grandma of two.

Hope you have a great day being pampered, thought of, indulged or just remembering all the good times and  beautiful memories being a mum brings.  

Hugs for those mums who cannot be with their children today...
