Now THAT is a cupola!!

I have talked a lot about the art in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, but one of my favorite things was this dome in the garden area…..

I took a few more photos, looking up directly into the dome……

…and immediately started planning the quilt that I could make!!!

While on the roof of the building, I got another view of the outside of the dome…..

And then, I came across a kid’s area where they could use tiles to recreate the dome……

OKAY…..enough already!!!

I will add this to my list of inspirations…..you know the list that is growing exponentially!!

Reels of inspiration!!

While a lot of the Facebook reels are a bit annoying, every once in a while I hit on one that makes me so excited.

This was one of them……

It started out simply enough with a few lines on a page…..

Then more lines…..

At this point I am wondering exactly what it is going to be!!

But once the color is added……

….I am TRULY in love with this design!!

In particular, I like how the boxes start out on the top right and magically end up on the bottom left.

Since I like piecing 60-degree diamonds so much, I might have to try this one day!!

I checked out the artist who drew this and found his YouTube Channel. This is a video that has several of his 3-D drawings but starts out with this one that I like.

Enjoy……

Would you ever try a design like this??

Am I crazy to try it???

Fun design….

I was scanning thru some old books that I have and found this great window that would make a fun quilt design……

The book even gives you the pattern……

YES….there are a LOT of Y-seams in it, but it sure would be a pretty design to do!!

I am currently considering a quilt for the MQG Fabric challenge using these fabrics…..

I already had a plan for the quilt but NOW I wonder if I should play with this pattern instead…..

What would you do with this design???

…..and yes….. burn it is a possible option!!!

Another challenge

I lost my mind last week and bought the fabrics for the Modern Quilt Guild Windham fabric challenge.

It loved participating in this last year and ended up with “Star Explosion”…..

Look at these luscious fabrics…..

I wonder what I could do with these!!

My thinking cap is on…..

One of my favorite things about quilting is motivating others and helping them in their quilting journey. As part of this endeavor, I LOVE to present programs and workshops to groups and guilds around the world. All of my programs work well with Zoom meetings, and I would love to speak to your group.

Inspiration at the Library

The other day I went to our public library to drop off a quilt for an exhibition.

Now, maybe I just had quilts on my brain, but looking over the stairs to the floor below I saw this…….

What a GREAT design!!!

I wonder if you could straighten some of the curves so it would be piece-able but still have the same effect……

Maybe I need to spend some time in Electric Quilt and see if I can come up with a pattern!!
