So the 4th photo in the 4th folder is this one:
The photo was taken on a trip to Santa Fe in the spring of 2006. My husband was attending a 
conference and I was wondering around town looking for the quilt store and trying not to worry about the kids (I hadn't been away from them much before that trip!) I found this unique store that sold doors and was quite taken by it. My 4th photo folder is full of other photos of the doors I saw, but you probably don't want to be bored with those! I can't really verbalize to this day why I was so captured by this place.

I can't really verbalize to this day why I was so captured by this place. Here is my fabric representation that I made when I came back home. I still feel happy when I look at it and always try to find a place to hang it up especially in the spring.
And I also made these two little abstract door pieces for the Abstract Challenge Yahoo group just for fun. I haven't been active in that group for a while and hope to change that this year. I always think about the 
monthly theme and sometimes even make a sketch of my ideas and inspirations, but lately haven't taken the next step to translate into fabric.

Those doors are wonderful -- and your fabric version is even neater! We're talking about a trip to Santa Fe one of these days -- wonder if we could find that place...
This is a great story...the doors are stunning. I can see why you were inspired. Sometimes our inspirations come from strange places. Love the little door wallies! Very creative.
What a fabulous photo. I can see why you were taken with the place.
Love the little quilts that came from the photos.
Love and hugs Gina xxx
I love your doors! and it's not strange at all. I'm that way about chairs.
okay, so maybe I'm just weird?
Just saw your DD in the Yahoo board photos. I love how it is turning out. Your colors are great together. Can't wait to see your finish.
This piece is terrific. Great colors and work.
