| This is where I work on projects. Quilt News from the PacNW where the winter cold and gray pretty much dominate. Hello Quilt Friends! I've started a new project because I needed something small and portable and I haven't worked on anything with embroidery or crazy quilting for way too long! My new project is going to be a Stitch Book with stitch sample pages and decorative crazy quilt pages. You might be wondering where my inspiration is from and I'm glad you asked! Because my ideas and inspiration are from several different artists, each with their own style and unique personality. I'm very glad we're, as embroiderers and quilters, each so different because that is where the excitement and wonder come in to make creating such a fun experience. Here are several links where I get my inspiration and encouragement; make sure and visit!

Gray is a neutral color between black and white. when added to lighter colors it calms and reduces brightness. When added to darker colors it lifts and opens. A new project is being started and I'm remembering to be thankful! And that quilt friends is the quilt news. I'll be by to visit! |
