This graphic design on a pillow cover from IKEA was the main kicker for me. Black and white drawings always ellicit a colorfilled response. Then I kept finding other images that drew me in and goaded my need to make my own.

And then I thought I would dredge up some of my older work from the WayBack machine.
Dueces are Wild
Both of these Spider Web quilts were inspired by Sujata Shah, http://therootconnection.blogspot.com/
Hi Mel,
ReplyDeleteNice to see you are in the quilt making mood again! I remember your split circle season from years ago. They were and still are wonderful.
And I agree how a black and white design can easily capture your imagination. Must be those clean lines that grant permission to play with color.
Have fun!
I love your inspiration! It makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see your inspiration. The Jane LaFazio pieces are beautiful. Of your wonderful quilts above, I particularly like the last one with the stripes and circles together.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ALL of these!!!! Makes me want to run into my sewing room and "do" something today :) (Must bake peanut butter cookies for DH first :)).
ReplyDeleteoh, wonderful, I especially love the bottom quilt - like looking out the window at night
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and nurturing colour. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for these.
Melody - I want to go for a ride on your "way back" machine.(smile)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful to see new inspiration ... and "old" work ...
ReplyDeleteAlways crazy for colours ( my idea exactly ;-) !!!)
I love your blog and really, really love your work (not very articulate, I know, but true.)
ReplyDeleteI've gotten so tired of giveaways and fabric gloating that my quilt blogs subscriptions have been severely edited. Yours was one of the few that I didn't have to hesitate over.
Please continue posting about your wonderful work.
Thanks for sharing your inspirations. I love to see the process that Artist's go through in deciding what work to do.
ReplyDeleteJust found you and your stunning work
ReplyDeleteSo inspiring
