Judy S- Travel Tags


I’ve always wanted to travel to all 50 states. I haven’t gotten there yet, but the states written on the luggage tags are ones my husband and I have lived in or our sons have moved to. There was one tag left and I added Maine because ever since the 4th grade I have wanted to visit it and that was accomplished. I would love to get out there again some day. 

The clock faces represent how time is part of travel. It may be a time in my life to move or our sons growing up or just waiting at a red light. When I was in Houston at Quilt Festival this year I found some wonderful stencils and the clock one fit right into my travel quilt.

  1. I love the square just like I love the luggage tag you made me that I will not put on my suitcase because I know someone will take it home with them. So I just hang it in the sewing room and look at it! Thank you for helping me post or I would still be sitting here weeping softly staring at a blank screen.

  5. I love the simplicity of your design, yet it shouts "travel".
    Stenciled background is perfect.

  6. I love this interpretation and the wonderful goal is represents. I am so impressed that you have already made use of one of your festival finds - you are way ahead of me there! I'm glad I didn't do my first thought - a collection of travel postcards which was the way I was able to travel in my youth,
