[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 02/2005 - Philippines - Philippines - Ifugao Tribal People in the Philippines

In 2005, my niece and I visited the Banaue Rice Terraces in the Philippines which is a Unesco World Heritage site and is sometimes referred to as the 'eight wonder of the world'.  These are the tribal people that lives in the area.

The term "Ifugao" is derived from the term "ipugo' which means "earth people", "mortals", or "humans". It also means "from the hill" as pugo means hill.

[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 09/2001 - Hongkong - Hongkong from Victoria Peak

This is a view of Hongkong from the Victoria Peak. When the weather is clear, you get a very clear view of Hongkong. At night, when the lights are everywhere, this view looks like a postcard. The first picture was taken earlier where it was still a bit foggy.

More Fat Quarters in my shop

Am starting to list some of my fat quarters from my personal collection. I cannot seem to find the time anymore to make any more quilts and lately I had an eye surgery so I think I will be staying away from a lot of quilting and sewing for quite some time. If you are thinking of a baby quilt project, then the fat quarters below might be a good idea to purchase -

 If you are into floral quilts then this one is for you -

 Or if you are into geometrics then these fat quarters could be a good idea to use as a highlight -

Click on any of the images above to check out these fat quarters and/or check out larger images. They are all sized 18" x 22", of premium quality and 100% quilting cotton. More fat quarters to come soon.

[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 09/1996 - Canada - Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada

One of my picture frames fell tonight and it turned out that the picture on the frame was of the Niagara Falls in Ontario Canada which I visited with my brother in 1996. The Horseshoe Falls is the largest falls of three which forms Niagara Falls on the Niagara River along the Canada-US Border. 

I hope to go back one day and experience the Journey Behind the Falls where you can see the falls from below and behind the tunnels and observation decks. My brother went back last year and did the journey behind the falls and if am not mistaken did the boat ride.
