You must have been thinking of Sante Fe when you did your two scraps quilts .... they blend into the scenery pefectly! Great finishes and great photos!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing! Your daughter has a wonderful job. My brother lived in SF for a couple of years but I've never visited. It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKyle bonitos edredones. ¡¡felicidades a tu hija Kate !! gracias por compartir bonitas fotografías

ReplyDeleteYou had me with the first picture of the Navajo girl. Lovely post today. Makes me want to go before it get too hot.

ReplyDeletePerfect settings to show your quilts! I’ve been to SF twice and love it but it’s been a while- your photos definitely make me want to go back!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that as many times as I've been to and through Santa Fe that I haven't seen most of what you pictured. Pretty quilts in pretty places. We made many, MANY trips just passing through on our way to Pagosa and home again (as our house was being built). Loved going to the square to see all the beauties displayed. I may have even purchased a few things! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip. And lots of fun with the quilt photo shoots!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful Santa Fe photo shoot of your quilts, Kyle! And it was so nice that you got to visit your daughter. That museum looks amazing and so do those ancient Petroglyphs :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous setting for your quilt photos. Santa Fe must be a fabulous place to visit. Seeing your daughter is the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo shoot, Kyle. You are so clever with your settings. We should all hire you to take the photos of our quilts for our blog posts. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Santa Fe in decades. Love seeing it through your eyes. Your daughter has a wonderful position.
I can't even remember what year I was last in Santa Fe, but your blog post certainly brought back fond memories. Thank you so much for sharing. ---"Love"
