Still seeing quilt patterns

Even though I don't have access to my stash or machines, I'm still thinking of quilting. We went on a tour of Dresden and I noted this tile work in a plaza. I thought it reminded me of a border design. 

I love how the center square's tiles are on the diagonal as opposed to the rest that's mostly squared.  I don't know the  age since much of Dresden was rebuilt after the end of WWII. 

We also visited a castle and I saw this on the stairwell to the roof. 

We snuck a look inside another castle (well, I did since I professed ignorance of understanding the German sign telling people to stay out)!  This was the ceiling in the one room I was able to see. 

Love these stars!

There is a porcelain wall that depicts all the Dukes of Saxony. It really reminded me of toile!

Dresden is a beautiful city and we have enjoyed seeing where Julia grew up. 

My son Actually has had 3 weddings! They were legally married in Febrary so she could start the green card process. 

They had a wedding 2 weeks ago in Oregon at our new house, which was a wonderful weekend of activities with about 30 people. 

Then they had a wedding in Dresden for her German friends and family. It was held at a beautiful vineyard and it was a marathon day of ceremony, dancing , games and eating. We started the ceremony at 3 pm and didn't leave the facility until 1:00 am!! I guess that's typical for parties in Germany. I'm either too old or too American to keep up!!

Here are a few photos. 

These are in Germany. 

This was in Oregon. 

I'll be back Monday and am looking forward to my stash and machines and I getting to know each other again. It's been a long few weeks.
