Travellin' Pic Stitch Blog Hop

Welcome to anyone new who has popped over from the blog hop. I hope you'll have a look around and come back and visit often. If you have been following along on the Travellin' Pic-Stitch Blog Hop I am sure you have seen some lovely vacation locations and English Paper Piecing ideas. This blog hop has been going on for a few weeks now and we still have a few more weeks to see all the fun English Paper Piecing projects inspired by everyone's travel photos. Katy and Laura are finished with their western US camping trip and  have been posting photos from all their locations in Utah, Colorado, Nevada and California.

I considered several travel photos from recent vacations.

I used this site to build most of the palettes and I also used a color picker on Photoshop Elements for one of the photos.

We loved our relaxing time spent at a friend's gorgeous home built in 1766 in Austria this past July.

I also considered this photo of the fruit seller as we disembarked our ship on a Panama Canal Cruise in March 2011. I love the vibrant colors in this photo.

You can never go wrong with a water shot. So many pretty blues and greens are picked up in this photo taken while visiting my good friend in Gig Harbor, Washington, last February.

Another shot from the state of Washington. This time a photo of summer flowers.

This photo from Poland just makes me happy. It reminds me of our fun vacation and special anniversary blessing we received while visiting Wroclaw in June 2012.

In the end, I decided on this photo. Mostly because I wanted to make a simply colored pillow using Katy's {I'm a Ginger Monkey}Spring Carnival template set that I had won a few months back from a giveaway on her blog. Taken in Cartegena, Columbia while on a cruise through the Panama Canal, March 2011.

I have finished piecing the triangles, squares and hexagons.  I hope to get a pillow made to enter into the competition on November 30.
