What I find useful is practicing ways to
fill a given space with quilting...
The space is SQUARE
I drew a curvy line and filled the square
with plumes...I stuffed it full!
More....SQUARES:
Draw a line through the square...
Then fill the entire space with plumes.
In the bottom image:
I divided the square in half horizontally
creating 2 triangle shapes
then filled each triangle shape completely.
You can fill a space with any shape...
a circle, triangle, rectangle, etc.
Look what's blooming by the Thread Shed:
Hollyhocks
They just opened up today...
I love the center star shape in every Hollyhock
The morning sun is shining on the back side
of the bloom
to create a glow from the front of the flower.

I like your filling in the squares. (Sorry, don't know how else to say that)
ReplyDeleteThose Hollyhocks are gorgeous! Such beautiful colors.
You live in such a beautiful place. It looks like you put in so much work to keep it beautiful. Where do you find the time for everything?
Hi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your very kind and thoughtful comments. The secret to making time for everything is.....I don't watch TV. I gave it up 10 years ago and it has been the best thing I have done to help me be more productive.

So wunderfull but...where's my big friend Gunnr?
ReplyDeleteLuAnn - I just this past week bought a sketch book. I am a traditional quilter, but want to expand my free motion machine quilting. I am one of those "I can barely draw a stick figure so how can I do intricate feather work on my quilts" but just the tiny bit of doodling in the sketch book has helped.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful area - you have mountains and sky, I have ocean and sky - we have to take time to look at the glorious!
Glad I found your blog.

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteYour words ring so true for me. I also cannot draw a stick figure, but I do it anyway. I hope your sketch book brings you joy! Keep at it, it will become a habit to pick it up daily and doodle.
My Best To You,

These are wonderful! And I love the hollyhocks. Brought back some great memories of my grandma. Thanks!
