Can free-motion quilt again! (Temporary fix)
Progress on the FAL 2014 Q1 list. The piece above is 'Night Garden', finally being quilted. Very slowly, because like a genius I've given it almost 7 layers in some places. But I'm a sixth of the way through it!
This weekend, I played with new colors....making palettes that were speaking 'Spring'. Bright.
My goal was to use these two palettes to inspire fabric selections for my March blocks in my Block-a-Day project.
This first is an actual art quilt by Karen Kamenetzky....I just loved the piece, it's on my pinterest Color Palette board :-)
This next one, also from my Color Palette board, is another color way that I envisioned incorporating into a quilt. The piece is by Seattle artist Liz Tran, called "Burst".
Fabrics from my stash:
I'm not totally sold on the selection above. I need more tomato orange. More blush-y mauve. Darker. Brighter. I'll keep looking. I fear I may have to purchase some new colors for my stash....hehehe.
Feeling like a juggler here with so many projects at once. And some stuff to seriously catch up on.
This weekend through Tuesday was set aside mostly for a birthday and relaxation.
Tomorrow is Art Walk night, my coordinator duties will be heavy.
The rain is over. The air is warm.
My Marmalade Fabrics order came in the mail today!
it was great to stop by your blog and check out your work. You have a great eye for colour. I love the fabrics you have pulled. For some reason blogger isn't letting me post... this is the 3rd or 4th time I tried so if you end up with a heap of comments from me... I'm not spamming you... just trying to get my comment up there
