Kaleidoscope Inspiration

Wouldn’t it be fun to make a quilt using this design……

….although trying to figure out how to piece it might be REALLY interesting!!! I would definitely need to simplify it GREATLY!!!

But, if you are inspired…..Go For It!!!

Quilting in Stone!!

Last Wednesday I posted a picture of a piece of ironwork and talked about how much fun it would be to turn it into a quilting design.

But how about this carved fountain in Sarasota, Florida……

I see echoed curves, pebble meander, and lots of other fun designs!!!

I will add it to my list of things to try!!!

How long is YOUR list???

Botero Flower Field


I have mentioned here before that I enjoy the works of Fernando Botero. His, often chubby, subjects just make me smile…..

But this painting is so different and I would LOVE to model a quilt after this idea…..

Yep…something else to add to my ever-growing list of projects!!!

Is there an artist that inspires your art??
