Happy Weekend!
From Renton, Washington, where we are enjoying sun with clouds today.
Yesterday was a sightseeing, shopping, and color exploration day. And down into the valley we went to 'The Landing' a shopping center located close to Boeing Field, where the huge flight industry started.
We stopped at a park off Lake Washington and saw baby ducks and got rained on. We're used to that, what's a little rain?
At World Market, summer colors and displays were worth the trip.
Where do you get your color inspiration?
This week I finished machine quilting my small butterfly quilt with an informal grid. I had fun with the backing, very minimal, improv pieced using scraps.
And yes, that is Rayna Gillman's book in my photos, Create Your Own Improv Quilts. I love that book, it doesn't have patterns but it has great ideas. Thanks Rayna.
Also one of my projects was published in Art Quilting Studio summer 2018, due out in June. I got a preview issue and it's excellent. Of course because my project is in it, right?
But aside from that there are some excellent quilts and projects and I highly recommend this issue.
Good read and inspiration.
Thank you, Art Quilting Studio and Danielle Williams, Assistant Senior Managing Editor.
Have a good weekend and I'll be by to visit.
