Binding has been sewn onto the front.....



Yesterday I took a long time deciding on binding color for my new art quilt. Then I got it sewn on the front and pinned to the back. I won't talk about unpicking because I got the wrong side up.
It's Saturday! I needed to get out of the house and have an adventure so off to the Fountains; a shopping center. We had lunch there and visited Sur la Table where they had samples of brownies made in a Wolf convection oven they have for sale. I accidently took 2 samples, they were delicious. We had to visit Anthropologie; clothes and houseware, for color inspiration. Their store decorator does such a fabulous job. I left full of inspiration and brownies.
Where do you find inspiration?

Fountains at Roseville, Roseville, CA, great shopping all around.

Yesterday I sewed the binding to the front of my newest art quilt.


Yesterday I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the 'right' color for the binding for my new art quilt. I finally decided and got it sewn onto the front. I'll hand sew it down to the back next week. Today, Saturday, is my day to get out and see something different. So off to the Fountains@Roseville, CA we went. Once there, we stopped at  Sur la Table.They had delicious brownie samples that had been baked in a Sub-Zero-Wolf convection oven, they were delicious. I accidentally picked up 2 samples. I always visit Anthropologie  for color and design ideas.S
