Last week was a blur between the jet lag, July 4 and not the least, my daughter and her new fiance coming home to catch up and celebrate. I began sorting through pictures and make color studies and sketches.
Susan Cohen was taking so many pictures while we were in Italy, I decided to leave much of the photography to her, here on Flickr. These pictures were taken by Susan at Fonte Fresco where we spent a most delightful time.
Using both my sketches, memory and imagination, a bit of patchwork has cropped up on my Italy Journal scarf.
It's so much fun to see these memories recreated by various media!

Thank you, Barbara. It seemed to call for a bit of stitching!

I loved the blue tone to the landscape in Italy - the only time we acheve that here is for a short time in the evening - magic!
I can't wait to see the finished journal scarf!

Love that patchwork (inspires me to think maybe I'll get to sewing something one of these days), can't wait to see the finished product. And I love seeing those photos and remembering that lovely day on the terrace at Fonte Fresca!

Yes, that is a beautiful time of day. That is when this picture was taken. It was a bit cloudy that day too.

Fonte Fresco really is an oasis. It may be a a year or so before this scarf is finished. On the other hand, since Im going back to Italy, it may be even longer
Hope the bites are better!
