I passed through Barcelona after traveling by car from California to NY; by ship from NY to Malaga, Spain; by train from Malaga through Barcelona Spain...
This art quilt is a simple process of iron on direct transferring of photos and journal excerpts to plain muslin cloth; using letter stamps, marking pens, machine sewing marking out my route, hand stitches of French knots and straight stitches; and buttons for added embellishments! Oh, the sweater I am wearing in that photo of me in Malaga, Spain I got in Mexico during another sojourn before this bigger trip began!
Thank you for this challenge that a led me down memory lane of my long ago youthful adventures! What fun, then and now!

Great memory keeper. You were and still are the adventurious one. :)Fun piece.
What a great adventure. Thanks for sharing your memories.
I play a game with myself, to see if I can identify the quilter from their piece before I reveal their name, or read their commentary. Like all great artists, you and Lisette have distinctive styles, while still beign ever-surprising and creative and exploring new directions. I love that your quilts tell stories and document your life!
The line "Please phone Hal, and tell her I can't make it to Tangiers after all" sounds like it should be a title of a book or a song lyric!
Could this be about the "different story" of the 5 week stay in Israel that turned into 5 years!
What a fun memory quilt! A great adventure with so much traveling!
