The recent closing of our local quilt shop, Sewcial Studio,
is a sad thing for me. Selfishly, I can
no longer jump in my car to go and fondle and ogle the gorgeous fabrics that
Anita displayed.
On the bright side, I’ll be able to work on the quilts I’ve
been meaning to piece together. Get the
ideas out of my head on to the fabric, while gathering more ideas for the
fabrics I couldn’t pass up while they were on sale for the last time.
Couple that with our last meeting of the Modern Athens Quilt
Guild. I was very inspired by Sylvia
Schaefer’s (http://flyingparrotquilts.com/)
talk on "Designing with Negative Space".
As you can see, I haven't gotten far with that inspiration, and I'm still not 100% sure what I'll do, but it's out of the cabinet and on to my design wall. A step in the right direction.
Why this sudden urge to
turn my UFO’s into FFO”s? Not sure, but I like getting things done; that feeling of accomplishment; the chance to unleash my creativity.
Unfinished Object -
Finally Finished Object
And, while I 'm working out how I'm going to finish the yellow and gold quilt, there's this UFO that I'll start quilting today.
That is, if I don't get too dizzy quilting circles over each pinwheel.
I'm very curious to see what it turns into! :)
