Fence inspiration from Dunoon

On Saturday, I told you about our walk around the town of Dunoon, Scotland.

I saw these fences and immediately started planning flower quilts in my head….

These designs would make fun appliques OR great machine quilting patterns!

What would you make?

Barcelona Inspiration

Barcelona is a place that I long to visit!!

On Facebook, I follow Pam Holland, a TIRELESS quilter, traveler and photographer!!

She posted this photo from one of her trips……

…and I can’t quit looking at it.

Just look at all of those geometric shapes that would make a MARVELOUS quilt!!

If you have never come across Pam, you should check out her WEBSITE.

Or even better, her travel website…. Marigold Textiles & Adventures!!

Orbs of Inspiration

Two weeks ago, I showed the carpet from my hotel in Denton, Texas….

Well, this hotel had it ALL going on!!

THIS was on the wall behind the desk…..

I truly love this design….wonder if I could emulate it in fabric??

It is certainly heavy on my mind!!

Can I do this with fabrics?

I have been watching reels and shorts about painting and came across one from “Tipperley Hill”. The business is comprised of two artists who collaborate on their creations. You might want to check out their website for more. In this video, they are further collaborating with Amy Bonsor.

In one of their reels, they took paper circles and sewed them to a background like this…..

(If you are on Instagram, you can see the video HERE )

Wouldn’t this be fun to do with fabric?

You would need to stiffen the fabric with some product…..I suppose you could use “Mod Podge” of something similar. OR, you could fuse the fabric to another fabric to seal the edges and add some heft.

BUT, regardless of HOW you did it, I think it would be SO MUCH FUN to play with!!

And one more thing….also check out the works of Amy Bonsor. They are totally amazing!!

What do you think?

What types of designs would you make from quilted fabric circles?

Another Carpet Inspiration

When I arrived in Denton, Texas to give my presentations to the Denton Quilt Guild, I was understandably nervous.

However, when I stepped into the hall of my hotel, I KNEW that all would be well…..

THIS carpet not only has a fun pattern, but a quilting design too!!
