Kona Cotton Color of the year, Pink Flamingo!
Am I going to have fun with this color or what??
If you love pink like I do, this is reason to celebrate.
I bought the class from iquilt 'Abstract Quilts in Solids' by Gwen Marston. Pink Flamingo
will make great contrast in my projects I'm working on for this course.
I highly recommend this and Gwen's other class offered by iquilt,, 'Liberated Quilt Making II'.
Have a relaxing weekend!! I'll be by to visit!
I look forward to seeing your colorful quilts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pamela, your sashiko work is beautiful.
DeleteHave a very pink weekend!
ReplyDeleteI will indeed, Queenie. You've worked up great geometric stitches this week!
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow 'pink' lover, I will have to check out that kona colour. I wrote a post recently about getting out of neutrals now that I am old...now I shall wear pinks, if I feel like it. We have lots of the tiger swallow tails here in summer months. I like how they stay on flowers a long time and you can get a good photo. I have a butterfly quilt on my to do list. Happy Stitching to you!
ReplyDeleteThe tiger swallowtails around here don't hold still for me. We just got a lot of rain too, so I think they left for for a while.
DeleteI don't ever wear all pink, or all any one color. Mix it up is the thing.
I'm not a huge pink fan - especially baby pink. I like the deep saturated versions though. Even when I was little I was never a 'girly-girl'. For one of my birthdays when I was about 12 I remember my grandma and grandpa getting me identical dresses - one pink and one blue. My grandmother wanted the pink one and grandpa knew me well enough to know that I'd hate it. He was right.
ReplyDeleteI do understand that completely. Too much of a good thing, not so good.
DeletePink is a tint of red, I'm sure you know that, and as such can be contrasted with the compliment of red and blend in surprisingly well, behaving itself and making a 'group' effort instead of obnoxiously showboating.
Color is fun!
