still creating with color! Distracted but still stitching

 


I've been spending my creative time sewing on two projects this week... 

The first is my hexie spiral in green scraps... and this year I'm trying to do blocks based on holidays or seasons, 

This time I am trying to make a St. Patrick's Day theme... I couldn't find one print I know I have, but did find two clover prints. and there is gold on one spiral fabric for the pot of gold, and a worm dressed up on clovers and some clovers blowing in the wind! 


I quite like this one, it's so bright and happy. Note the yellow green one next to the blowing clover has printed spiral dots when you see it close up

I took a moment to think about the prompt for this row of Stay at home Round Robin... maker's choice

it's gonna be much larger than I originally thought. All of it has grown from the dragonflies, outward
I did 4 patches of two color White with glitter and blue sky  continuing last week's prompt, and then for my block choice I thought a row of flying geese would be good above

I cut the dark blue dragonfly fabric into 2" squares, then in half diagonally, for the centers 

and used sky fabric/ light blue sparkles/ and medium blue sparkles for the side triangles and like the movement using the three fabrics gave me
I am not sure how I will place the two geese sections yet, but suspect I will fill in sky fabrics , and put a row of light sky between the hourglass blocks and geese

I think I want to find a place for this lovely two color checkerboard print... and I will go ahead and use the "two fabric not two color" circles someplace


oh and I want to find a place for these leftover pinwheels too...

I love this challenge, check it out at Quiltinggail  (https://quiltinggail.com/)

I'm happy to note my new snoopervisor was a fabulous studio companion this week. It's week two of his being with us, and he has slept long and hard this week.... and scampered around some, and played with a toy. 

drying off after a bath, and seeing the Vet this morning. 
Dewi says, I'm artistic too!!! look at the abstract I did with water...
Hee hee! It comes naturally to me like having curly hairs!

    I really love your choice for the final round of the SAHRR and look forward to seeing how it all comes together. I hope Dewi had a good vet visit and I certainly appreciate the artful droplets!

    I love the green hexi project - so pretty! And the dragonfly quilt! Love how it looks just like a rippling pond with the colors and patterns.
    And Dewi! Oh my goodness! I am so happy for you that you found a sweet companion that needed you and vice versa. You are the perfect dog mom for him - kind and patient and calm.

    Your SAHRR is coming together. The tiny flying geese will be perfect in the sky part. So glad Dewi is settling in. He’s a pretty boy.

    Those green hexies are fun! (I love making hexies.) And can't believe all the interesting parts you get to combine in your SAHRR quilt -- textures and colors and shapes and ideas. It will be wonderful and can't wait to see it!

    It's fascinating watching your dragonfly project grow and the decisions your making as you go along. Hope Dewi enjoyed his bath!
