It's not that Transparent on Off the Wall Friday from Creations - Quilts, Art, Whatever by Nina-Marie Sayre

Okay, its official. I have completely lost my mind! I know that people told me it was going to happen but I thought....No Way!!! Not me!!...Well, I was wrong. Can you believe, that after all this time, I completely forgot to post Off the Wall Friday?!? The kicker is that I didn't think of it till Saturday morning right about the time Margaret Blank messaged to check on me! We had a totally unexpected house guest and it through everything off. Anyways...I apologize!!

keith haring wholecloth quilt (in progress) from Charm About You

This month's Aurifil Artisan challenge was to make a wholecloth quilt. I was sent fabric and thread to work with and given free reign to create. There were a few ideas swimming around my head but when we went to the Keith Haring exhibition in Liverpool recently I couldn't resist doing hand quilting inspired by his designs.

This is an incredibly playfully stitched project and there are elements I absolutely love and also some lessons learned.

Sunday Quilt Inspiration: Art Nouveau from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

After taking a look at Art Deco last week, I became curious about Art Nouveau. "What's the difference?" kept entering my mind. So I did a little research.

Flower border

Turns out I'm addressing them backwards: Art Nouveau (new art) is the earlier style and is more naturalistic. That should have been last week's inspiration.

Art Nouveau architecture

My mnemonic: First, art is "nouveau," (pronounced new-voe) and natural; it includes shapes from nature such as leaves, arcs, ferns.

Sunday Quilt Inspiration: art deco from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

At our modern guild meeting, we discussed art deco, what it means and looks like, and how it influences the modern quilt movement.

Art Deco uses bold design, clean lines, colors and patterns to create geometric shapes. It was most popular from the early 1910s through both world wars and fading from fashion in the beginnings of the 1950s. Intense color, line and shape are characteristic of art deco.

Kvinnor i konsten from Veriquilt

På Uppsala konstmuseum visas just nu en utställning av Monia Westin, textilkonstnär från Uppsala som är representerad på bl a Nationalmuseum och Röhsska museet. Vackra gobelängvävar i underbara färger, bl a "Grön blomma till Matisse" som visas på den länkade sidan. Hon börjar ofta sina arbeten med en teckning som hon sedan drar upp i storlek, där visades fyra blyertsteckningar som var helt fantastiska! Några tavlor sydda i silke visades också, de var ca 30 x 40 cm och mycket fint monterade på linneklädd pannå.

I May Have A Scrap Problem... Inspiration Time! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Summer is hard upon us here in Tennessee - soaring temperatures make it easy to stay inside and sew! I haven't had much time for scrappy sewing lately, but I have been finishing off some UFOs that are hanging around. I have been seeing some beautiful inspiration on Instagram, though, and maybe that will kickstart some scrappy sewing again!

Apparently these blocks are addictive - this poster has two different quilts started! Love those tiny squares...

Can you believe this was her first scrappy quilt? Great design!

Start With the Foundation and Then I'll Work My Way Into the Details from Quilty Folk

I finally dove into applique prep like I've been threatening to do for weeks now. The brand new project, inspired by the fabulously creative Jane Ormes, was a dig-deep-and-see-how-seriously-you-want-to-do-this type of project. Jane had responded very kindly to my request, to try and interpret one of her prints into a quilt, which honestly kind of shocked me.

Sunday Quilt Inspiration: SHOES from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

Richard is right now having a fit over a pair of shoes that a granddaughter "borrowed" to run to town. She didn't want to wear her heels, so she slipped into his crocs. You don't imagine she asked permission, do you? I told her no, but well, the granddaughter is Jolie. The struggle is real, y'all.

So shoes...

Crocs will outsource its manufacturing and close some unsuccessful stores

Sunday Quilt Inspiration: egg shapes from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

Sometimes I look at an item and see a quilt. And sometimes I look at a quilt and see an object that probably is not meant by the maker. The first is a possible idea for a future quilt. The second is probably odd. Regardless, this inspiration comes from a quilt and manifested itself into an SQI. Or something like that.

It's no summer cookout without deviled eggs, and this patriotic batch will be a huge hit at your 4th of July celebration. #4thofjuly #4thofjulyideas #4thofjulyparty #4thofjulyfood #4thofjulyrecipes #fourthofjuly #fourthofjulyfood #summerrecipes

Deviled eggs are hard boiled eggs where the yolk is mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. A little sprinkle of paprika on top helps make these the best deviled eggs recipe.

So are you curious what kind of quilts might be deviled eggs incognito? Quite often they're modern, artsy, and colorful.

Sunday Quilt Inspiration: Quilty 365 from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

Be inspired by my "Quilty 365" board! There are over 100 pins of circle blocks, tops, and quilts, all part of the Quilty 365 challenge. I jumped in well after it started, but was still able to make enough blocks for a large quilt. Can you believe that these were made in 2016-17? Has it really been that long?

"The Quarry," my version of the Quilty 365 project quilted completely in circles (pebbles). It was a constant reminder of a quarry that we saw on vacation in 2015.
