F..A..B..R..I..C......!!
Must have...!!
That was my mind-set when i walked into the quilt shop on Monday....
For a kid that learned to quilt using feed sacks and old clothes...
Whose quilts for much of my quilting life has been Thimbleberries or Civil War reprints....
Suddenly....
I want color....!
The orange/yellow/pinks were inspired by a small quilt in the shop made with a pattern named Brick Yard by Bear Hug...
I couldn't stop looking at that colorful little quilt...
Sooooo
I found the pattern and off to the sale table i when...
the fabric is not the same used for the little beauty...
But....
It's close...they were on the 75% off rack....and i loved the colors....
The table runner was at the check out desk and i threw it in at the last minute...
it used up my gift certificate and it has lots of COLOR..!!
When it's done it will go in the gift basket...
and will be a gift of color for some lucky person..
Now I just need to finish "Black Tie Christmas"(pictures soon) the project I'm working on now and then it's on to COLOR...!! Color...!!...color..!!!
..Go For Your Dreams..
Color is definitely needed this time of year. I've been contemplating getting out my Valentine decor early as I'm tired of looking at snowflakes and snowmen here. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you've been working on.
ReplyDeleteColors. I am picturing the patchwork, colorful creations. They always amaze me how anyone can actually sew, put together, and create something as large as a full size quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove from Florida we have has sun two days straight. Some of the central Fl. BLACK Mud is drying up!
Good ole MUCK.....don't miss it!!
DeleteHi there, For some reason I had forgotten you are a quilter.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a top of batiks today and will share it tomorrow. I'm so ready to do Civil War fabrics that are more muted. My quilt top is a bit to busy for me. Now I have to get backing and decide what design to quilt on it. So much to think about.
Love those colors-it will help liven up winter.
Hugs, Noreen
You are ready for some brightness on these gray, cloudy winter days!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love all the colors. The quilt will be so pretty when it is finished. You'll have to post pictures of it. Sure does brighten things up on a winter day.
