sewing saturday orange rules!

 For this week's sewing round up I have a lot of orange... 

the bats and boos quilt is in process of being quilted now
love a scrappy pin cushion

remember back to the 70's?? I do... The colors were earthy harvest gold, avocado green , chocolate brown, and hanging on was 60's orange. I didn't like it then but now that I mix my own orange paint, 

 and have so many pretty orange fabrics I realize the sparkle it can give artwork. 

I did the large hexie kaleidoscope blocks in orange


and looked at them with the others... how pretty it will be!

I made a tablecloth from fabric that refused to be put back in it's drawer...

and hardly worried at all about making something with the cute fabric as it's still basically just fabric!

 I chose two silly orange fabrics to make my sweaters of the month in RSC colors... Imagine walking down the street wearing these! ( Imagine walking down the street again safely...) I really want a black sheep sweater myself... I've never felt like I fit in...

the whole drawer full so far...

I didn't quilt in the 70's but did in the 80's. I owned brown sheets, so chic according to my sister who was tired of girly sheets. I had orange toned towels and funny enough when we moved to Colorado I got a lovely terracotta shade of towels. My husband thinks my favorite color is still purple but I am currently leaning toward turquoise... and coral. 

I love all the colors and learned from painting that all the colors are needed. 

I also like many artforms but so far always return to sewing. How about you?

    I'm loving all the orange! And those little shirts are such fun. I'd say you have fall fever, or maybe you just like orange. I do. Have a great weekend!

    When we remodeled the kitchen in our previous house - in about 2003 - we put in hickory cabinets, and painted the kitchen and dining room walls a lovely terra cotta color. It looked so cozy. And I love orange in my quilts. The little orange sweater made me smile because I had that fabric in red and purple.

    Orange is the colour of the moment, I think. It is just happy and warm and we all need a bit of that.

    I agree about needing all the colors. Even orange and brown.

    Oh those orange hexies make my heart beat! The sweaters are awfully cute too. I too love all colors but I'm usually partial to green. That said, as of the past few years I've been leaning towards orange! I like all forms of textile art -- embroidery, knitting, quilting, needlepoint, cross stitch, etc. I always come back to the quilting!

    Yes! We need all the colors. I like coral, too, but orange is my husband's favorite. The sweaters always make me laugh. Adorable.

    Of course I remember the 70's colors. Pumpkin, avocado and mustard. Very toned and muted. I like the warmth you bring with your oranges. So happy and playful.
