creatively speaking, this week Purple Haze

 

I spent my studio time this week with these projects plus a few more. 

All in the various ranges of purples, blue-purples to red-purples from light to dark. 

I do love scraps and am grateful to my friends who sent me scraps to give me choices to use

I did three blocks for my rainbow scrap challenge quilt this week

each strip is 2.5" across width of fabric, and each one is pretty

I thought this was just okay til I noticed the gold hearts!

these might be the 4th block...

I walk a lot, and try to notice the color of the month (purple) along the way

clematis blossoms

I worked on my table scraps challenge this week.... interpreting blossoms and using purple scraps

here's a little close up of the direction I'm taking with it

I started sewing without a design, but keeping blossoms and purple in my mind and surprised at what happened! It's due the end of the month, so I'll show it finished then God willing

I added on some free form geese to the other project...and sewed gentle curves into the strips

Mindless sewing of tiny rectangles got this one going and I might not have a vision of the finished piece but I quite love the pattern and colors that are emerging from a pile of tiny scraps

along the way I found this painting in my purple scrap bin.... I think it's from a playdate with gelli printing on fabric with my bee mates in Maryland. Which means it's very old. There is a lot more to it

a strip scrap surrounded log cabin style... what will it be?

In the parts dept I found a little circle, so I gave it a home in strips, what do you think of the blueish purple strips for the sides?

what about this swirly strip?

My idea is to hand stitch over the whole thing and use it for another paint journal cover

Lastly I am hand stitching this month's  hexi spiral block (at night in front of mindless TV)

Ah, I love making these
