Do you ever look to nature for inspiration when making your quilts? I am amazed at God's imagination when He created all things. I enjoy His creation very much and try to mindful of how I treat this world I live in. When you look around you see so many colors that can guide you in making a quilt. Do you think
Gail Pan was inspired by nature when she designed this block for the
Aurifil BOM?
Could this Lily of the Valley plant inspire you to create a green and white quilt?
What flower inspired
Clover and Violet to design this embroidered block?
Look at this little chipmunk who has very full cheeks from collecting those little seed pods. His fur could inspire an earth tone quilt.
I would love to know if you have been inspired by nature to create a special quilt.
Good news! the baby cardinals have left the nest. I was not fast enough to get another picture of them before they left. I know they are well because I saw the parents flitting around and one of the babies on the ground waiting for some food. If you want to see what they look like when they leave the nest check out this
site.

Sunflowers and dogs inspire me :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd cardinals! Love that website! Thanks for the link.
I'm always inspired by flowers and trees, Carrie! A recent quilt I made we call our picnic quilt and I used wonderful, bright flowered fabric that reminds me of our garden when it's in full bloom!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Pretty stitching! Thanks for the link, I must know cardinals well, I only got one wrong on the quiz!
ReplyDeleteWow that was fast for them to leave. Good thing they are all well though. Oh, I really like Gail's whimsical designs. I really need to get some embroidery prepped for my days waiting for Miss Em.

ReplyDeleteLove that little chipmunk with his mouth full. They are so cute.
I love the stitchery. So sweet. I wish I could draw as I would love to do a little stitchery of that adorable chipmunk.
ReplyDeleteNo one paints a picture more beautiful than Mother Nature. Mr. Creations has created the most gorgeous back yard that yes, I often get inspired by it.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely work and great inspiring photos! I used to applique quite a bit but haven't done as much lately. I should try it again. You make it look so easy! I saw you mentioned on Sharon's blog and hope to keep up with your future posts and projects!
ReplyDeleteOk...Mr. Chipmunk is just sooooooooo totally cute I can't hardly stand it! Nature makes the most wonderful inspiration ever!
ReplyDeleteNature is a constant source of wonder. Whenever I'm in the trees and look up-- I feel seriously inspired! There is something about the light through the leaves and branches that just sings to me. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Mr. Chipmunk!
Creation is my biggest inspiration! I love designs that are creation inspired!!
