Motivation returns

Well here we are at the end of another week and I don't want to get too excited but I seem to be on a bit of a roll even after thinking I was having a creative block!!  To be fair there still may be a bit of a block going on, but at least this week has seen some motivation!!

I guess it started with a 'throw everything in the air' and see how it lands moment.  I am pleased to say that my work area is now very tidy and if not a tad over-sorted.  That will of course revert to the normal chaos very quickly.

I have also had a little re-vamp of the blog and up-dated my Flickr account which I have been meaning to do for a while.  Now that I have made these changes I will endeavour to upload new images regularly, when, of course I have finished any new work or have new photos that I find inspirational.

So what else have I been doing..............well a bit of playing, or should I say researching and experimenting, and also a bit of finishing off.  More needs to be done in that line this year, far too many UFO's lurking around in my room!!

Week Two

I am still on track with my Challenge 2018; well you would hope so as it is only Week Two. 

I really enjoyed making this 'Inchie', which I think has a real Wassily Kandinsky feel to it.  He was my inspiration during my City & Guilds course.  

I used painted scrim, beads and wire all stitched onto a piece of fabric used to clean brushes and protect tables during any painting moments.

Back to finishing off projects!

Porthole

Last year, when I was 'busy' helping my daughter after the birth of our youngest Granddaughter, I designed a hexagon based, biased strip pattern.  It has been tucked away all year, with the label 'need to develop this'. 

So I have......

'Porthole' will be available as a pattern shortly.  It has been made as a cushion cover, but will work equally well as a quilt block.

Hexagons & Diamonds

Keeping with the Hexagon theme, I have also finished another project that I started last year.

Isn't it strange that to get motivated again you have to clear the decks!

This will also be available as a cushion pattern later in the year.





So that is about it for now; time to start thinking about next weeks 'Inchie' I guess.

Thank you for taking the time to pop by....
