on the sewing front, I needed to see color sewn to color, repeat. I got out the blue scraps that are exceptionally small and started sewing...

I thought, I love foundation piecing, why not just do some really small (2") blocks, mindless right? I didn't count on the intensity of dealing with such small seam allowances and strips of fabric 1/2" wide. I completed two blocks and moved on.
sewing to paper is a good idea for me now, can't use a rotary cutter, but I need to move on to 4" blocks maybe... so it can be zen for me
I took my smallest scraps and made some more blossoms in blues
Mostly I am able to do the painting/drawing artwork a day on index cards... so here are the 7 I did from week one... and here is the link to week two prompts: https://daisyyellowart.com/vividlife/icad-2024-2
the prompts were from top right clockwise: lavender, zinnia, patisserie, tree, gradient, portal, owl
I want to paint, to draw, to bead, to embroider, to sew... to be creative.
I have not done much of anything, (being distracted by nerve pain) and just know I want to do it all
I did watch a video on how to insert a spiral metal wire join on watercolor papers to make a flip book... I hope to do that with my icad pages as I draw paint on one side, and write on the reverse. I would like to have a way to keep them together and flip from page to page.
it works and could be a little bowl to hold stuff
I cut out one of my RSC blocks to be basted while watching tv this week. It's a way to handle fabric, and see the pretty color...

You are always so creative. Love your artwork and the log cabin has always been one of my favorite quilt patterns!
ReplyDeleteThe NEED to be creative is strong. I'm glad you are able to do a few things in spite of the nerve pain. Those tiny blocks are so cute! And no doubt you'll end up using them in a bigger project someday.
ReplyDeleteI love the postcard of lavender!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Blue is my favourite colour!
ReplyDeleteOoooh Leeanna, you are such an artist, I love these blue blocks and I'm sure that you will find a creative way to assemble them into a joyful quilt. Pretty cards too, the owl queen is so cute! Thank you for sharing, and I wish you a peaceful week. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI really love that blue log cabin in triangles - fantastic arrangement of colour and patterns.
ReplyDeleteAlways love the blue quilted projects...my favorite color. That bowl cozy will come in handy when it's back to soup and chili weather. I love the set my daughter made me for that. I got so sick of burning my hand after microwaving and they make better sense than trying to wrap a potholder around the bowls.
ReplyDeleteThose blue blocks are simply lovely! Yes, even with foundation paper piecing small blocks can be a bit fiddly. They sure turned out pretty though! Have a lovely week. I hope the pain subsides. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
