creatively speaking this week, awaken to the possibilities

 

July is a new month, and a new color of scraps to use....Purple! 

for a while purple was my favorite color. I got a purple camera, purple phone, wore purple clothes

Above is an image of my prep for another hexie spiral block, to work on at night 

First choose fabrics to use, cut 2.5" squares, next baste fabrics to the shapes

I wonder if you feel like I do when you finally finish a quilt... like you finished a term paper... relief! 

and a slight let down in the push to create...

so I took out my purple scrap bin and the smallest scraps and some parts from prior sessions

and sorted them into some order

 

 

sewing a tiny improv strip of rectangles to get into the process again

 

pulling out a runner made over a year ago

and thinking, what a fun/clever use of scraps, machine quilting and hand stitching/beading! Oh it's my work!  so I brought it down and put it on the credenza for July

the sun is making it look washed out

pulled out one of the coasters I made years ago in MD. a fabric collage

and pulled out this painting on fabric I did 2 years ago now, it's prepped for machine quilting

love the use of stencils paint and inks... just need to finish it

I stitched some rows of this one together, and have a few rows pinned to decide if I like it...

a couple of videos I found interesting

This video of reorganizing a craft space kept my interest and I like some of the ideas
