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 |
a couple of videos I found interesting
This video of reorganizing a craft space kept my interest and I like some of the ideas

Wow! The bird looks amazing on that little quilt. And that bright runner is so cute!! It deserves to be on display and enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteI can tell already your new purple creation is going to be gorgeous! I love purple too -- all shades of it. That runner is so fun and attractive too!
ReplyDeletethe pink hibiscus is stunning. Am interested to see how yoy put all those together.
ReplyDeletePurple is my favorite color. I have lots of it in all it's many variations. The flower painted on fabric is gorgeous. It deserves to be finished. Hot here again.

The purples are going to be fun! Love the pelican coaster!
ReplyDeleteI could never set anything on aht coaster. It is beautiful. Love your purples.
ReplyDeleteSo much beautiful purple creativity! I love seeing how people store long term projects, that hexie pouch is just adorable. Finishing a project marks a transition in the creative process, it is that balance of starting and finishing that keeps us creating.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see those things you "pulled out"...what gorgeous items speaking to your creativity over the years. You have both the eye and the skill of a true creator!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfectly perfect start to purple sewing! :)
ReplyDeleteLots of great purple scraps and bits and bobs! Love the artwork too...but that runner from last year is so much fun...glad it got out to show itself off.
