T, P and M


Using today, a snowy, wet, confusing day
as inspiration....


Texture, Pattern, and Movement

Play day number two.



How can you include texture



pattern,


and movement?




****



Pattern you can practically feel,

texture that confuses,


or movement that stops you dead center.

These thoughts crowd my brain today...


Time for another play day...
Perhaps with Layers?
Quilting?
Embellishments?

Soft color?

Loud color?


What if you throw it all into the pot?

Take a chance.

Explore.

create.

MAKE ANYTHING.


And perhaps stay in doors like Erin is in her block
for the BASICS home gather!
thanks Erin!

    Great blog. I love the house blocks. Again I am struck with the variety of expression in all of us. Similar and yet different. These group projects are so great. I always learn something.

    V, love your little quilt. It definitely has all three! Wish I could find time to play in my sewing room. Keep safe. I hear y'all are getting lots more snow. Love Erin's block. My daughter wanted me to put a picture of her in the window of my houses. Didn't happen! I made three more house blocks (all I could do for Sew and Tell Friday) and will try to put all five in the mail to you this weekend.
