I'm staying with my mother for ten days again, and as usual don't have much handwork to do. So I've been thinking about what I COULD do if I were home with my fabric. I brought with me Gwen Marston and Freddy Moran's new book,
Freddy and Gwen Collaborate Again, terrific inspiration for doing fun things with your stash and scraps.
This is a beautiful book, full of colorful illustrations of wild and crazy "liberated" quilts. I've already made some plans to use four orphan Birds in the Air blocks as the center medallion for a veterans' lap quilt. What next? I'll be here several days longer--time for many more project plans!
You want me to fed ex you one of my "I just need to hand sew the binding down" UFO's?
ReplyDeleteAmy has a great idea! We could all send you some binding to do!
ReplyDeleteThese girls and wild and crazy! How neat the idea for the Birds in the Air block. Be sure to share any more fun ideas.
ReplyDeleteIt must be frustrating to read that book and be away from your stash and sewing room. It is so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThis dreaming will certainly awaken the muse within you!
ReplyDeletePlanning and dreaming are the best part of the process. When you get home, you'll be ready to jump in and sew.
ReplyDeleteOooooh! Sounds like a wonderful book, I just love their first one! Can't wait to see what ideas you come up with.
