Tip: Take Time to Enjoy Tuesday
>> Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I finally surrendered yesterday to the two year old's demands and pieced instead of planned. I got another Lady of the Lake block done, put together my daughter's remaining cousin challenge blocks, made a tree block, and decided I like the reindeer mittens 'up and down' instead of even.
But more than this, I realized an important time tip:
remember to give yourself time to be inspired and renewed.
remember to give yourself time to be inspired and renewed.
It helps alot when you have great things to look at.
STAR QUILTS: With Patterns for More than 30 Stars, Mary Elizabeth Johnson, Clarkson Potter Publishers, New York:1992. (ISBN 0-517-57418-7)
Here's just a few for today. She categorizes the type of star quilts and then has amazing examples of each. You can click on a photograph to enlarge it. (I took them at night at my cutting table, apologizes for some slight discolourations, but the inspiration is still there!)
This quilt reminds me of Kaffe Fassett, Sarah Fielke, and Mrs. Schmenkman. It has also renewed my desire to make a red quilt!
One more for today. . .
This quilt again draws on red, but also repetition to pull in the viewer and to achieve symmetry.
Take time to be inspired today.
With Joy,
Sarah V

Oh I like the red one...provenance unknown...but it obviously was the project of a sewer looking for joy!
