Apparently, I lied to you!!
I said that I had finished posting about QuiltCon 2023……and then I found this photo that I had taken in my hotel room……in my shower to be exact!!
Isn’t that a fun design and, my-oh-my, think of the things that you could do with it!!!
As I always say…..
As you know, I am always in the market for another good inspiration!! Mind you, I will NEVER be able to USE all of these inspirations, but….just like fabric….they are fun to collect!!
A few weeks back, Michael and I were in Dallas, Texas at the Aloft Hotel. The Aloft group advertises their design as being “music inspired”, although this one had a “warehouse” look with concrete ceilings!!
Now normally I post photos of hotel carpets but I found something different this time.
While waiting for the elevator, I looked up at the ceiling and saw this brilliant light cover…..

At the end of 2021, I learned about the “Pantone Color of the Year”. For 2022, it was a lovely Periwinkle and I used it to begin picking fabrics for this quilt…
Needless to say, I was anxiously awaiting the revelation of the 2023 Color of the Year, and I was NOT disappointed.
It is the very exciting VIVA MAGENTA….
I immediately started looking thru some of our travel photos, trying the match the color to Viva Magenta…..
and found these beauties……
And look at these two for a contrasting color to add in……
….or this one for a darker Magenta to add to it……
Now I cant wait to get into my stash and see what I can come up with!!

Normally, when there is a hole in the roof, it means that something is wrong.
But at the Pantheon in Rome, it is all part of the architecture!!!
I could spend hours in this round building, watching the sun as it moves across the dome, slowly changing the shadows in each of the alcoves!!
If there ever was an inspirational building, this is it!!!!
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???
