Toya Thomas's Website

TOYA THOMAS BIO

Toya R.B. Thomas is a fiber artist from Novi, Michigan. Her first quilt in

2009 was expected to be a “one and done” quilt for the Oakland

County Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Since then, she has

retired from her full-time career as a Tax Manager and has been

quilting for over 15 years with over 100 pieces to her credit.

She has exhibited at shows and galleries across the United States and

internationally in France. She is a member of the Great Lakes African

American Quilters Network, EPIC Colorful Stitchers, and the National

African American Quilt Guild. Toya also teaches various quilting

technique classes at local quilt shops, retreats and guilds.

Toya enjoys the challenge of working with unrelated fabrics and/or

rescued articles of clothing and developing them into a themed

memory quilt or art piece of historical significance or social

consciousness. Many of her pieces utilize African and African-inspired

fabrics and often portray cultural experiences and influences. The

fusion of art and memory quilting into a unified tapestry, that captures

a story, is what brings her a great sense of peace and joy – her

Quiltitude!

Ports of Call

Ft. Lauderdale (Day 1)

Known as the "Venice of America," Fort Lauderdale has 165 miles of canals that wind through this waterfront city. With plenty of sun and sand, you'll find the beaches inviting and only minutes from elegant shops and championship golf courses. After dark, the town offers many five-star restaurants and exciting nightclubs, all set in a lush tropical environment.

Attractions & Activities

People have been flocking to Fort Lauderdale's beaches for decades. And with good reason. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a two-mile strip of beautiful beach featuring the recently renovated Promenade, which offers all sorts of bars, restaurants and shops.

Cartagena (Day 4)

The magic of Cartagena lies in its massive fortifications, the warmth of the people, the richness of the architecture and the infinite range of cultural expression of a doughty and valiant people. The city is full of romance, and there is the setting for many a tale of times past in every street and square, and along the walls that bound it, waiting for the sunset to evoke past struggles. On a sunny day vibrates with color along the facades of the buildings and the sea breeze refreshes the visitor on his way along the narrow streets of the old city. Declared part of the UNESCO World Heritage in 1984, Cartagena encapsulates all the charm of Spanish colonial architecture, the republic period and today, the attractions of intense night-life, cultural festivals, exotic scenery, superb beaches, wonderful food and a wide offer of hotels and tourist infrastructure.

Attractions & Activities

Walk the streets, look at such splendid buildings as the Palace of the Inquisition, the Clock Tower, the battlements and the Castle 0f San Felipe de Barajas. Museums, the cathedrals, Spanish-style houses, water sports and some amazing beaches – these are just some of the attractions of the city and its surroundings.

Enter Panama Canal Cristobal (Day 5)

Transiting The Panama Canal (Day 5)

The 48 mile-long (77 km) international waterway known as the Panama Canal allows ships to pass between the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean, saving about 8000 miles (12,875 km) from a journey around the southern tip of South America, Cape Horn.

Panama Canal Daylight Transit, Panama (Day 5)

Puerto Caldera (Day 7)

This port of call is the door to the inner beauty of Costa Rica, a country waiting to be discovered. There are volcano tours that pass through strawberry plantations and along the coast with inviting beaches trailing off into the distance. San Jose is a short trip inland and the center for nightlife and all of your delightful excursions.

Acajutla (Day 9)

Acajutla is a seaport city in Sonsonate Department, El Salvador. The city is located on the Pacific Coast of Central America and is El Salvador's principal seaport from which a large portion of the nation's exports of coffee, sugar, and Balsam of Peru are shipped.

Puerto Quetzal (Day 10)

Drive into the mountains to beautiful old Antigua, once the country's colonial capital, and discover its lovely bougainvilleadraped buildings and breathtaking views of emerald volcanoes. Travel to famed Lake Atitlan and step back in time as you encounter the indigenous people in all their finery still living along the lakeshore. Or better yet, fly to Flores and experience the magnificent and enigmatic Mayan temples and palaces of the Tikal complex, surrounded by jungle.

Attractions & Activities

From Puerto Quetzal the choices are many, the busy capital of Guatemala City, Antigua, simply enchanting with its bonbon- pink houses, language schools and near- perfect weather, lovely Lake Atitlan, where modern Mayans still tell their stories on backstrap looms. Not to be missed are the ancient Mayan ruins at Tikal - a secretive jungle plaza flanked by seven great stone temples

Puerto Vallarta (Day 13)

Experience the warmth of Puerto Vallarta, which is quaint and full of history, yet modern, vibrant, exotic. Discover a destination of relaxing beaches, world class restaurants, and the latest in ecotourism and extreme adventure, in a setting that is internationally recognized for its charm and friendliness, with a backdrop of mountains, rivers, coastline, and emerald green waves of the Pacific Ocean.

Attractions & Activities

Take advantage of a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with our intelligent finned friends at the Dolphin Adventure Center. You'll be given an introduction to these friendly mammals. Then, you'll actually have the chance to swim with them in a specially designed pool.

Cabo San Lucas (Day 14)

Here at the tip of the Baja Peninsula where the amazing rock formation known as Los Arcos guards the entrance to the bay lies Cabo San Lucas which was once a hideout for pirates on the lookout for trading ships. Here you can spy on a no-longer-secret underwater garden through a glass-bottom boat, flirt with a whale or sea lion, shop at a quayside bazaar, or rekindle romance at the secluded Playa del Amor.

Attractions & Activities

Cabo San Lucas is quickly becoming a popular destination for one reason: beautiful beaches. You'll find an amazing choice of activities here, from snorkeling and scuba diving to surfing and kayaking. There's something for everyone, even people who just want to lie in the sun and relax.

San Diego (Day 16)

San Diego is California's "first city," with roots dating back to 1796. San Diego's beautiful harbor is a lovely place to stroll and explore. Historic Seaport Village, along the Embarcadero, is filled with fascinating shops and galleries. But if you wish to explore further, San Diego offers a world of excitement.

Attractions & Activities

Many popular museums, such as the San Diego Museum of Art, the San Diego Natural History Museum, the San Diego Museum of Man, the Museum of Photographic Arts, and the San Diego Air & Space Museum are located in Balboa Park, which is also the location of the San Diego Zoo. The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) is located in La Jolla and has a branch located at the Santa Fe Depot downtown. The downtown branch consists of two building on two opposite streets. The Columbia district downtown is home to historic ship exhibits belonging to the San Diego Maritime Museum, headlined by the Star of India, as well as the unrelated San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum featuring the USS Midway aircraft carrier.
