Hey, Hey…Santa Fe!

I  LOVED Santa Fe!  What an incredibly beautiful city!  I loved everything about it…the adobe style houses, the markets, the Galleries, the Santa Fe Plaza, the architecture, the miles and miles of jewellery and bead shops…If you want a little tour then keep reading…if not…I’ll see you tomorrow..I hope!

This is in the heart of the Plaza…where local artisan spread out their blankets and sell their wares…gorgeous stuff!

 

Rylie was impressed…and everyone loved her!

The galleries…

The shops….

I love wreathes of any kinds – but these were hot and spicy!!  I REALLY wanted one of these but it is a food item and it would kill me if the Canadian Customs person confiscated it…can’t you see me on my knees begging the Custom’s man to PLEASE return the pepper wreath…!!  It was not to be…but aren’t they pretty?

  Isn’t this wreath incredible…each angel is hand carved…I didn’t ask how much this wreath was as one angel was selling for $22.50! South American Quilts..starting at $350…very beautiful and worth every penny!!

All the buildings are this colour or a variation of this colour…   The entrance to an Art Gallery…got my attention..and the dogs!!

Now I KNOW you are wondering if Santa Fe has a quilt shop..Of COURSE!! 

The Santa Fe Quilt was great!!  Three rooms of lovely fabric…books…patterns…and quilts!!   

If you live near Santa Fe you might be lucky enough to attend a workshop on how to make this beautiful Wedding Ring Quilt!

 

Isn’t the fabric lovely!!

One of the rooms was filled with Japanese and Asian fabric…love it!

I found some gems in this little basket…and they were calling my name…

.. like these half a yard Japanese prints on Linen…LOVE them!

  Must be the teacher in me..love apples!! They both have a polka dot border…so cute!  

I also found this bundle of goodness…and they were practically giving it away..:o)

 

I must have been hungry…all the fabric had food on it!!

Oh and did I mention that it is Spring in Santa Fe.    GORGEOUS!!

Have a Super Sunday and Happy Quilting!
