This post is late. Tuesday night the hotel wi-fi in my hotel didn't work. Wednesday night after overseas travel, "I" didn't work and passed out before I could blog.
I woke up in London on my last day in the UK. I spent the morning/early afternoon at the British Museum. I could have spent a week there!
Mosaics galore:
Proof that I "invented" ribbon candy as a quilting design:
After I checked out of my hotel in London, I noticed this beautiful walkway on my way to the train:
Future quilt alert?
I traveled back to Birmingham to an airport hotel and found the
longest
hallway
ever:
Did you notice the fire extinguisher halfway down the hall on the left? Here it is with the second half of the hallway:
At the end of the hallway, I turned and found...
another hallway:
My husband and I kept making references to "The Shining" movie. We didn't notice any small children riding tricycles in the hotel, so that was a relief.
We had a fabulous dinner our last night in Birmingham.
I tried the treacle tart with sticky pudding:
Sound quite English, doesn't it? It was delicious.
My husband had a sampler:
I may have sampled/stolen the Turkish Delight on the top left of his plate.
Farewell, UK. I will definitely miss you. I hope to see you again soon!

Love the British Museum! But you noticed things (i.e. the gorgeous tile floor) that I definitely missed. Safe travels home.

Ah yes, the Aztecs may have had the design for the ribbon candy but hey, you decided to put it on a quilt! Surely that counts? There are sooooo many designs to be "borrowed" in London it is almost overwhelming isn't it?
My favorite museum in London is the V&A. Almost everything on display was produced/made in the UK. The iron work is amazing...lots of quilting designs there, the tapestries, quilts, clothing, jewelry, I could go on and on. I am looking forward to returning some day.
Love that hallway floor pattern....definitely a pattern for the future!!!!!
That walkway looks kind of like "On A Whim."
