One of a kind.
Over 50 years ago, I was a stewardess (yes, we weren’t called flight attendants!). The romance of air travel was still alive and well. People traveled with hats and gloves, and air travel was considered very special. I used my perks as an airline employee, traveling to New York for a day of shopping and a special haircut, flying to Los Angeles to try out a new bistro…
A later career of mine in sales also provided me with the opportunity to travel around the country and overseas. I loved the adventure of it.
This quilt features a travel-themed fabric with martinis to celebrate! I no longer travel but the memories are clear; I can still feel the thrill of take-offs, the fun of walking across the tarmac in a snazzy stewardess uniform, the delight at exploring new cities and environments and finding a delicious meal in an out-of-the-way cafe.
I couldn’t bear to cut up this travel fabric, so it is almost a whole-cloth quilt. The surrounding blocks contain snippets of things and places enjoyed.
