Time for a new quilt project!
I want to work with splashy flowers, but I'm also itching to do more wool appliqué, so I'm starting both.
For the splashy flowers, I decided to do an improvisational house quilt with a yoga girl in each door. Someone gave me the yoga fabric years ago because I'm a yoga fanatic. Each house will be surrounded by flowers and a fun sky fabric.
For the wool, I just came across a Sue Spargo book in our quilt store with a beautiful pomegranate table rug pattern, so I bought a pack of luscious soft green wool for the background. I started pulling oranges and more greens from my wool stash and determined that I'll have to make another trip to the quilt store.
Luckily, our local store -- Harbor Quilt Garden -- has decided to make wool one of its priorities and they're building up quite a nice wool selection.
So as soon as I get back from yoga class this afternoon I'll dive in!
Have a colorful day
Oh that yoga quilt will be fun! I'm reminded of the yoga quilt by Pamdora - do you remember it? I periodically think about the wool I have hidden away and the projects I thought I might try with it. So far I've managed a needle case with poinsettia applique. It wet my appetite but I've got so many other ideas and projects with cottons I just never pull out the wool. Am looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects, both! I love it when inspiration hits... makes me drop everything else and dive in... hope you enjoy both, and I look forward to progress reports!
