Yes.. there is glorious pattern in our world! And maybe you are a quilter because you were born with eyes to SEE it.
ReplyDeletethe patterns are so moving and so persistant, and i love what both you and valerie say about the why it matters. and it does.
ReplyDeletePerhaps. A friend recently showed me photos of the trip to Israel and Jordan she and her DH took last fall; all that really fascinated me were the patterns in the mosaics -- walls and floors. And the patterns of the olive groves against the earth...
ReplyDeleteMy preference goes to patterns coupled with textures, as the one in your pictures: fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI confess that I too am a pattern addict (colours, textures, forms, behaviours, events)! Gorgeous pics.
ReplyDeletePatterns and textures inspire me too. I get lots of them them on my travels - I like the palm leaves on your post, thanks - Nat
ReplyDeleteFabulous patterns! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteits really nice and beautiful, impressed to view...
ReplyDeleteI love the idea that maybe we are quilters b/c there is pattern in the world and not the other way round (noticing b/c we quilt). Lovely pix - I esp. like the close up of the palms woven in fan shapes.
ReplyDeletebut where did it all begin ...
ReplyDelete.
this top image for me, the color, the sense of a stilled motion, a breathing thing make in motion by the shadow play; and the dimension, layered sense of space compressed.
yes
but where did it all begin...
That thatched roof is so beautiful...an amazing repeat. I love seeing the world through the eyes of artists. Such attention to detail. Not much slips by them.
ReplyDeleteBeauty in the ordinary.

sometimes you have to stand way back to see the pattern. the pattern of your own going.
ReplyDeletemmmmm the palm fronds remind me of gaudi.
