The Souks....
A combination the entire Mystic collection and Kona Cottons.....
The Souks is the open air marketplace in the medina (center) of Marrakesh.... it is a maze of tiny stalls and vendors with every possible product you could need....I barely touched the surface of the Souks and was a little confused as to where I was but after a couple of visits I was able to find my way around. It is one of the most interesting aspects to the city...people watching...smells.... colors.... textures.... sounds...it hits every sense and then some. The souks may seem confusing but they are very well organized by product.... dyers area, food, leather, etc. The strips in the design of the quilt connect to each other in some places but not quite in others creating a maze sort of feel but yet it is very organized it felt like the Souks.
My quilting is a maze of quilting to showcase the Souks....
Here are a few of my favorite images from the Souks....
This would be one of my favorites!!!
I hope you enjoyed seeing a bit of my trip to Morocco....the trip changed my life and I am so very grateful!!!

Wonderful photos, a feast of colors and textures! My son just returned from Morocco a couple of weeks ago. Life changing were his words as well. What an opportunity and source of inspiration.

When you flick through the photos quickly then back up to the quilt - you can see the kaleidoscope of colours that is Morocco. Close your eyes and breath in the scent & sounds of the souk - not something you forget in a hurry!
