Desert Island Picks

I know I wouldn't enjoy being on a desert isle, but I would enjoy, say, a weekend alone in a king bed hotel suite with room service and a nice, big desk! Don't forget a fantastic view of, maybe, Machu Pichu or Banff. I'm not picky!

Here are two of my favourite things that I know I would take with me.

My Layer Cake of Prayer Flags by April Cornell.

There are lots of paisley prints to make me very happy and relaxed.

I even love the large prints. I think I understand the fascination of layer cakes, because I know I wouldn't have bought this scale of print. Now that I've seen it - I want it! And all of the rest of the prints too.



Secondly I would bring this book



I discovered it in my local library. It was published in 1980. I can get lost in this book.

This is just one page! There are 117.
This could be a fun one to use with my Layer Cake. And really, if I'm on a desert island, these two would have to play together in some way. The hotel seems like a better alternative with a desk and hydro, though. Then it might be near the world's most amazingly stocked quilt store and I won't have to look twice at what I brought{except maybe the size of my suitcase!}

I realized going through my photos that I didn't even take one of THE BLOCK that I want to make out of this book. It's called California Star. I have been dreaming about a quilt by this name for many years.

I'm sure if you've read this far by now you realize that I've been busy doing other things besides making quilty things I can show you. And that your eyeballs hurt! I will have more to show you soon. As soon as I finish something:)

Thanks for sticking with me. Do you have something you would take with you to enjoy on a desert island?

I forgot to mention the food staple - cheesecake!
