SeaSquared by the Sea

We went to the Georgia coast for a few days last week.  As I try to do when heading out the door, I look for a quilt to drag along.  This time I grabbed SeaSquared.  An ocean scene seemed perfect for this trip, and this quilt had not been on a photo shoot before.

We love the marsh side of the island, but always stroll along the beach, no matter the time of year.  Last week the weather was perfect for that.

We took the fishy quilt to Driftwood Beach and let her pose there a few times.  It was windy, but I didn’t lose her.

Every time we go to Jekyll and visit the Horton House, I always wish I had brought a quilt to pose against those tabby walls.  This time, success!

SS on the window sill of our balcony…don’t you just love the lattice everywhere. I foresee a Jekyll Island quilt with lots of different lattice designs.

And our home away from home was the Jekyll Island Club Hotel.  As we sat on the veranda enjoying breakfast one morning, we were remembering that my colleagues and I had given a presentation in one of the meeting rooms there for a group of school administrators.  (Many years ago I was a high school math teacher, then a system level math curriculum person.  The Georgia Council of Supervisors of Mathematics held our annual conferences at this hotel.)  We called our program C2, short for Curriculum Compacting in Mathematics.  I had that program in mind when I named this quilt Sea Squared.  It seemed appropriate to take some photos at the entry to the room where that presentation was given.

The details of the construction of this quilt, and how it came to be called SeaSquared, are in an earlier blog post, here.

I've stitched my way through life. Early skills in utilitarian and decorative sewing have merged with art in the world of quiltmaking. My love of journaling has now crossed into the cloth world, too. I love old songs, old souls, old words; my collections attest to my fascination with memories.
