Creativity this week... two challenges met and knitting socks

 

Project Quilting prompt for this week was "ombre" which is a shift from one color to the another. 

I am knitting socks with an ombre affect at the moment. Purple to turquoise

two of my favorite colors! I like to put my own spin on a prompt so I thought I'd graduate from purple to turquoise with fabric PRINTS instead of solids. I wanted to make something I could use too, so an older pattern for a "keeper" fit the need

Now I have a non Christmas colored keeper to hold sock projects in the family room

I arranged prints from turquoise to purple strips and sewed them together. cut out the pattern in the strip set and in the lining fabric, sew it together and turn right sides out

The biggest pale purple fell on bottom of the bag but it's the final purple in the gradation.

 Top stitch the upper edge and it's done! 

I got the pattern from a workshop so there is not one to link to here, so sorry. 

embroidery stuff, and knitting stuff ready to use while watching tv

I'm aware that the colors shift differently from solids but I'm glad I explored the effect with prints

Next up is the Stay at home round robin prompt to use a King's crown block

I wasn't aware of that one so I googled it. SO many ways to interpret the angles and lines. I considered my quilt center.... I thought the one on the right looked like crowns. I drafted out a little pattern of just the section that looks crown-like

Mary Englebreit has an image that says "Queen of Everything" and 

princess of quite a lot  

Originally I planned to do 4 crowns one for center of each side but this one above isn't good, and I kind of like the quilt with just one on the bottom. Maybe I print out Queen LeeAnna of the house and use just one this round. 

Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month is PINK

I thought this little embroidery was done with the pinks but this week I made light and dark pink improvisational flying geese and like it here. 

By leaving things on the design wall, I often make changes over time, and this little embroidery is growing now because pinks ended up being a terrific color for the piece. 

Fun!   Sewing is SEW much fun!
