Father’s Day Inspiration

On the last Father’s day, our daughter gave this card to her Dad……

Wouldn’t this be another great idea for scrap strips??

I really have to stop finding ideas and, instead, PICK ONE and get started!!!

Wish me luck!!

Strip quilt idea??

When Michael and I were in Sweden this time last year, I spent a day in Copenhagen, loving all of the museums and art galleries I visited.

I took this photo at one of the galleries……

In particular, I love the movement of the straight lines.

Since I am trying to find fresh ideas for using my scrap strips, I started looking further at this idea and wondered if I could use them in this way.

A closer inspection of the design showed me that large sections of lines are mostly parallel…..

I would have to be SUPER careful and accurate with my piecing, but THIS might be an idea worth trying….

If only I didn’t have to waste all of that time sleeping!!

Noman Art

When I get tired of watching quilting videos at the gym, I often end up watching reels….mostly ones from artists around the world.

Lately I have seen a lot from “Noman Art”.

He does a lot of three dimensional drawing and almost all of them inspire me to think about making a quilt.

Does that surprise you?? It did NOT surprise my husband!!

I have enjoyed many videos from “Noman Art”, including these two….

I love that each of these drawings are made from squares and 1/2-square triangles!!
