New Mexico Trip, Part Two

The Georgia O’Keeffe studio/home in Abiquiu is located on a hilltop  53 miles north of Santa Fe.   Housed in a 5,000 square-foot building from Spanish Colonial times, it bears a modern, minimal tone reflecting  her lifestyle.

The town’s adobe church also sits atop that hill.

Of course,  I can’t travel without visiting quilt shops.  In honor of Georgia O’Keeffe, I purchased a couple of yards of this poppy fabric in Taos.

When not hand piecing hexagon stars, I read Elizabeth Gilbert’s book, Eat, Pray, Love during the trip.  I recommend it to those who love to travel, or dream of traveling, to such places as Italy, India and Indonesia.   What an incredible journey the author made, both literally and spiritually.
