Now that I've satisfied my red craving with my monthly BOM, I've been struck with inspiration. It's not like I don't have a million other things to do....but when you feel you must....so for the last few days I've been hand dying a pallette of vivid huesI've been inspired by a walk through the garden again....(nature can't get it wrong when it comes to matching colours)
Green is my other favourite colour (my 
quilts are like my wardrobe, I love wearing Reds, Oranges and Greens - not all at once). I'm still working hard at getting to love Blue a little better, I know it's classic, but often I don't get past navy. I just need to appreciate it in nature somewhere to apply it to a quilt design.

Christmas is nearly upon us, so before I definitely didn't have a spare day to dye, I got stuck in, and I'm now in respite from a few days of non stop procion shifts.
Above is a pic from some of my new pallette. The grey didnt show up well in the photo, but it's a greeny grey and it makes the greens and oranges look alive. I'm really inspired with this design at the moment and think I will have to finish it before Christmas. Or it might become another UFO and sit on the shelf for years before I discover it again!
nice color selection. Can't wait to see what it becomes.
ReplyDeleteHi Esther,
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank you your lovely RED Delicious. I'm already waiting for the next block... almost finished the first. I have a photo of it on my blog...
I've just given in to temptation and acquired some red fabrics ready to make a start on Red Delicious... thanks for the opportunity.
