"It's The Journey"

Quilt of Travel items
It's The Journey (click for larger version)
"It's The Journey"
Patricia Charity
30" x 50"
$1600.00


I am inspired by history and the romance of travel during a time when getting to a destination was only the end of the journey. The excitement of seeing new places along the way, saving bits and pieces to remember the trip, assembling the journal for a personal history was all a part of the experience.

I wanted this quilt to speak to the adventure of travel.  Arriving at point B is not the event we remember, it is the journey. The cool morning air with new scents, the change of light at a new latitude, the beauty of an unfamiliar landscape as it glides past the window of the train, car or plane.
