A double-faced, travel diary quilt documenting my 2024 summer vacation, which included The Eras Tour concerts with my niece in Switzerland and a yoga and sewing retreat with Heidi Parkes in Sardinia, Italy. From the mountain tops of the Swiss Alps to the sea caves of the Sardinia coast, the front face details scenery, events, and other memories of the trip. The back face employs cyanotypes made on the Sardinia retreat, including those created on the rocky beaches with sea water, sand, and stones.
