WOYWW: Textiles from my Travels


Happy Wednesday, dear blog friends!  Obviously, I haven't recovered from my recent trip to Laos and Thailand and my desk is filled with some of the wonderful textile crafts I got there.  From Laos, the detail of one of the bags I bought with awesome applique from the Hmong tribe which comes from the back of their traditional shirt...


Some pillow shams with applique...



Embroidered throw pillow covers and a woven bag...



and a box covered in Thai silk...


And that's what's on my desk today for What's on our Workdesk Wednesday.  For Word Art Wednesday...




I didn't get to do much visiting last week but I am thankful for all your visits.  I'm hoping I can find the time this week.  Til next week, be blessed!

    Those textiles are beautiful. I have traveled in Thailand (North) and Laos too many years ago in the early seventies. I was backpacking and couldn't bring back much, which is a shame....
    I love your word art. and your painting too.
    Thank you for letting me look over your shoulder.
    Have a good week.
