I am working on finishing up this project- the hand applique is all done and I am working on borders, etc. Sometimes I design an entire quilt on paper before I start it, but more often than not, I have a general idea of what I want to do and design it as I go. Originally, this particular design was just going to be a wall hanging, but then I decided to make the appliqued portion the center of a larger project.I love the fabrics in this project- I know, I know- I say that for all of my projects!!! For me, color is always the starting point and most important part of any creative endeavor- whether it's a quilt, a painting, or a room that I am decorating.
Of all God's gifts to the sighted man, color is holiest, the most divine, the most solemn.

Jacquelynne,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and visiting me.I am trying my best at decorating. Sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night and think of something. It's so funny! But I have a long way to go.I love your site.And, it's always nice to come and visit it to get a word of encouragemnt from God's word. I appreciate you posting it on your site. By the way I love what you are working on. And to be able to think uo a pattern for a quilt is unbelievable!! That is awesome. Maybe one day the Lord will give me the courage and the wisdom to be able to do that. in the meantime Have a blessed day.
Oh, this looks interesting, Jacquelynn. Can't wait to see the entire piece. By the way, I picked up the copy of Create and Decorate with you project in it. I am still thinking I will do it in wool. Sound okay?
ReplyDeleteOh I can already tell it is going to be so beautiful! It must be such a rewarding feeling to finish a quilt~! I have yet to make one but I'm being tempted!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you show the finished product~♥

ReplyDeleteI love the quote! And the fabrics you have chosen are great, and vintage-y looking. Can't wait to see the full piece.

Wow. I am jealous. I don't have a creative bone in my body.
ReplyDeleteThanks for weighing in on our political discussion- I also am nervous and SO ready for it to be over!
happy Sunday
ReplyDeleteI envy your talent. I'm lucky to sew squares together....Can't wait to see the finished project!
ReplyDeleteMy Gosh,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! Well, I have an envelope addressed to you already, so I am going to put a little something in it to send to you anyway!! I do love your blog and I have your tray picture from the latest Create and Decorate right in front of me; you are so very talented!
I have changed my post, and I thank you so much for being so very honest, sometimes I am such a dolt:)
Wooly hugs, and watch your mail, probably about the first of next week, since the mail from Canada can be so very slow! Sorry I had to post here again, for some reason I cant get an email through to you...darn technology.
