My creative week in threads

 

This is the 12th block in this pattern for this year's RSC quilt to be. 

I chose a warm color, a healing color is pink, and this time more intense shades of pink. 

I don't know if it's "raspberry" or just saturated pinks originally I thought maroon or cranberry. 

I do like to play with all variations of a color... here are three warm colors together to compare

intense pink, bright pink, and red. Note I've tried to keep a dotted theme this year for the hexies. I love focusing on a color each month and exploring it with it's neighbors. I have NO idea how to handle these 12 circles. Applique them to a background square, all backgrounds the same? or slightly different? like white/cream/beige/ white on beige/ cream with gold? 

What do you think? 

I finished this little runner too. It's challenging working on that Barbie sized machine, but I persevered and it's all done. Originally I wanted a bright floral around the hexies but none in my stash worked. I hated to cut up this background. It's a mix of piecing and applique to put it onto the background

I machine bound it with a bright colors on red fabric

Beeeeeee

My friend Sue, Duke's mom, sent me a prism with colorful crystals and Milo's name on a heart. I miss my snoopervisor in the studio, huffing in boredom as he collapsed on his bed, getting up frequently to go bark out the bedroom window next door, nudging me to say Dad's out of his lair and ready to walk. 

taking a break from decision making to pet the softest curls ears ever held. 

It's one month today from when we said goodbye. 

Meanwhile the moravian star continues to not be quite right. I called in my local geometry consultant, the engineer I'm married to... he said make two identical 6 star units and they should go together

they go together but are flatter than I wanted. I then called in the consultant Sara https://mysewingroomsara.blogspot.com/

who has actually done a fabric Moravian star. She made one with 10 star units...and much larger and it looks fabulous. 

I do not want to take any of these apart to pare down to 10 so... in an effort to finish it in some way, I might just put them together. 

Another valuable helper (https://stitchingsapphire.blogspot.com/)wrote directions which my brain can't take in right now, but I kept them for the future. 

If I ever try this again. 

no painting this week. I have begun thinking of what center square will start my Stay at home round robin quilt in 2025. No ideas yet.
