Finally I have returned to my I Believe in Angels series. I like to keep my angels close so I have made many angel quilts over the years. So far, I have 8 of these angels on my design wall, each with her own personality.
My love of travel inspired I Believe in Travel Angels. I can always count on my travel angel to see me home safely.
I Believe in Travel Angels is created using fused appliqué sewn with a machine blanket stitch. Her dress and the border is travel fabric which inspired the theme for the quilt.
I made her hair on my Janome sewing machine using a decorative stitch and variegated thread. After adding the borders, the quilt measures 37x39 inches, a good size for a wallhanging.
My friend Maxine Moore did the machine quilting.
After adding binding, a hanging sleeve for easy display and a label to document the quilt, I embellished I Believe in Travel Angels with yo-yo’s, buttons and an angel charm.
I signed the quilt on the front and added the charm near my signature that says “angels watching over me”.
This quilt is one-of-a-kind.
What a fascinating look at life as a travel nurse on the road. Tess has shown how a Class B motorhome can become much more than transportation and can truly feel like a home. I love the idea of combining career opportunities with the freedom to explore different destinations. This kind of lifestyle can encourage others to travel in a more flexible way. Travelers interested in Africa may also wonder Where is kilimanjaro mountain? before planning their next memorable journey.
What a beautiful reminder that kindness and generosity can completely change someone's travel experience. Stories like this encourage people to look beyond destinations and appreciate the human connections made along the journey. Every traveler hopes to meet welcoming locals or fellow adventurers who make unforgettable memories possible. While planning any trip, having reliable transportation information is equally valuable. Knowing the distance from moshi to arusha in advance helps visitors organize their schedule, choose the best travel option, and enjoy a smoother adventure. Thank you for sharing such an uplifting article that celebrates the true spirit of travel and inspires others to spread kindness wherever they go.
