Pocketful Of Posies

I have been sewing, piecing together scraps of fabric.  In need of a project, one that didn't require a lot of planning but used lots of patterns and bright colors, I turned to fabric I inherited from my daughter.  Flowers in pink and purple caught my eye.  We are a long way from spring outside but inside I can work with flowers to my heart's content ~
This strip of fabrics is where it all started
I love the swirls of orange and green
Purple works its way in nicely
Old-fashioned patterns ~ one treasured piece left from long ago

    There is something about the beautiful colors and textures of working with fabric that makes our heart sing.

    Beautiful
    and you will create
    something
    beautiful.
    Reminds me
    of all the fabrics
    that my mother had.

    Beautiful colors -- looks like your in for a great project, and what a great thing to do in this incredibly cold weather. I am looking for inspiration for my next art project. (Just won an award, so I am encouraged ... for a change!)

    These fabrics are beautiful and enticing. I, too, have been itching to put some fabric pieces together. Just this weekend, I rearranged my tiny bedroom in my tiny home so that my sewing machine and desk were more accessible. I'll think of you when I'm at the machine!

    I love fabric and often lament there are not enough hours in the day for me to design my own clothes. I'm always altering things by hand but I'd love to learn to sew and find just the right material. Yours are lovely.
