More Stained-Glass Inspiration

A couple of weeks back, I posted about a stained glass inspiration from the book, Geometric Patterns From Churches & Cathedrals”.

Today I found another one……

Wouldn’t it be fun to make a landscape-oriented quilt that made use of a bunch of these “panels”

AHHH…..something else for my “retirement” To-Do list!!

Gated church entrance

I have been looking through travel photos, helping Michael to find certain ones for a travel article he is writing.

AND, I came across this photo of a gate entrance at a cathedral in Vienna…..

I “straightened” the photo, so you can see it a bit better….

Now THAT would make a wonderful quilt!!

Cathedral Windows

The other day, I was looking thru a book that I have had for many years. It is called “Geometric Patterns From Churches & Cathedrals”, and is out of print now.

BUT….one of the pages had a photos of this church window….

This design was taken from that window….

Yes, there would be a bunch of Y-seams and some inset circles, but wouldn’t it make a fun quilt??

Especially in solid, brightly colored fabrics!!

Add it to the list!!!

Inspiration by Email

I love it when I open my email and see an inspiration from a reader!!

On Thursday morning, I posted about being excited about curves and circles.

About 3 hours later, I received an email from Lynn with this photo…..

She was in a hotel in Wisconsin, read my morning blog email, noticed this picture, and decided that I might like to see it.

SHE WAS RIGHT!!

It has circles, lines, and FMQ designs….what could be better!!

Next Project???

Yesterday officially ended my super-busy tax season!!

Let us scream a collective HURRAH!!!!

That means it is time to start thinking about projects….more about that tomorrow!!

On to the inspiration…..

Two years ago, I spent a day exploring museums in Copenhagen while Michael was running around in the wilds. At one of the museums, I took a photo of this bench….

….completely enamored with the interlacing ovals in the back.

THAT reminds me of a Creative Grids ruler that I was given 2 years ago…..

MAYBE it is time to break this bad boy out and learn how to use it!!
