Laguna de Cancun comes from the Izapa Stele #25 with addition of a fish design from a pottery artifact and a turtle from Mayan hieroglyphs. Just like hotel murals on the Mayan Riviera, these stylized fish swim directly out of the Izapa Stele #25. Even the waves are part of the original design chiseled hundreds of years ago in Central America. Inspiration from a long pottery fish and hieroglyph turtle add variety to this easy pattern.

With Laguna de Cancun comes Mayan Wave, a flowing textile design found on painted vases and architectural trim of the period.

Attached is a possible layout and pictures of  “It’s Gonna Blow,” my Nor’easter quilt designed for MQX a few years ago.  We had a Nor’easter that year too!  Brrrr!  Slush, slush!

The Nor’easter pictogram is the central portion of the quilt.  In fact, you can buy the 3 coordinating patterns in the Nor’easter Set for 20% OFF.

Did your Dad take the family on fishing trips when you were a kid?  Being from Minnesota, my Dad was a big fan of boating and fishing.  Truthfully, there’s no better way to eat fresh fish than cooked over a campfire.
