confined to quarters temporarily due to weather...so what's a quilter to do but surf the net? i confess to spending too much time on instagram, which lured me to this website...she was working on a simple black and white quilt on instagram but the pattern is not yet on her website...
this is just perfect for a certain gal with a shoebox full of 2.5" strips....there are plenty of ideas there for good scrappy projects....there you have it, i'm an enabler...
so did the housework get done? but noooooo! instead more of this--the tumblers is now a flimsy....
and nann, another like-minded enabler, showed some batik squares on her blog that sparked my mojo...i have some batiks (no surprise)...might try just one, you know, for research purposes...my squares are a bit bigger than hers tho....
there is a project for these that i might get to today.....used up 3 pieces of fabric with these...bit by bit it's going.....
and today, like every day, dreaming of days at the shore....
Your tumblers and batik squares look great. The world is full of inspirations and distractions.
ReplyDeleteindeed! thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI don't make resolutions anymore but if I did, it would be to spend more time quilting and less time online. You do find some great ideas but I just get sucked down that rabbit hole! I love all your inspiration and hope you get lots of quilty time to put them together! Happy quilting!
ReplyDeletethanks...it's work to stay away from all that inspiration...
DeleteYour quilt squares look very painterly. Nann is an excellent enabler! Seeing your tumblers flimsy made me think how lovely they might be made with batiks, of which we probably both have an abundance. Those scraps do multiply and burst out of their bins when we turn our backs!
ReplyDeletethank you! it's so dreary here that i find myself gravitated toward kaffe's bright colors a lot
DeleteLove what your are stitching up! The idea for the black/whites is stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteyes it is very tempting indeed.
DeleteIt’s perfect quilting weather by the sounds of it. I do love your newest quilt. Quite modern.
ReplyDeletethanks..just a whimm for now
DeleteWho's enabling whom? I like the 2.5" strip design! And the tumblers sparkle.
ReplyDeletei'd say it's a draw...ROFL....
DeleteYears ago, when we lived abroad, January was the bleakest of months. I do recall that the announcement was made that there had been a dumb total of three hours of sunshine that month- and they all occurred on the same day! We became adept at distinguishing shades of gray. Lots of inspiration here today- you need not think of yourself as an “enabler” as much as an inspiration! Thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty designs!
ReplyDeletethanks!
Deletewhew..thank you mrs. g!
ReplyDeleteLove love love the tumblers quilt!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are safe and warm and prepared for the storm.
