Here's
the one I finished yesterday: This
and That and the Other is a bright, cheerful wall quilt
with a surprise...
it's reversible. Bali
Colorwave, the other side, reminds me of a tropical sunrise. I had
intended to use one print panel on the back, but couldn't resist
these pretty pink and purple Bali blends.
I shopped online at
Fabric.com and Hancock's of Paducah for the gorgeous fabrics that I
combined with a few of my own scraps. (Yeah, I know that I should be
using more of my fabric stash, but who can resist new fabric that is
just a click away?)
Color
can affect a person's mood and I could be proof that bright colors
stimulate creativity. Painting my room purple has sparked a flurry
of activity. Some hues bring happy, passionate, warm and creative
feelings; others invoke thoughts of reflection, peace, and
simplicity. Even dark, gloomy, dull colors have their place. My
life is full of color and I love it!
I'm
retired, but I'm not sure there is enough time to sew all the designs
that are spiraling around in my head. And even if I did, what would
I do with all this stuff? It may be time to start an online
storefront. We'll see. Meanwhile, it's still raining and I want to
play around with some of those fabric scraps...I have another idea.
Useful
Notion: Some crafters sort fabric by color, others sort by light,
dark, and medium hues. Either way you choose, organizing fabric
scraps saves time.
