Quilting Inspiration by Denyse Schmidt



A few years ago I rediscovered my love for quilts and all the comforts that they bring. My curiosity and interest came in the form of the book Quilt by Denyse Shmidt. Her modern take on quilt patterns, color pairings, and simplicity really resonated with my love to create something functional, timeless, and authentic. Around the time I picked up this book I also happened to have a collection of tee shirts, in similar neutral colors of cream, white, grey, and tan that I had a feeling would all pair well together. So fueled with inspiration by this book and a season of Project Runway, I set off into my first quilting adventure. I posted about the finished project a few years ago and included some of the lessons I learned in the process. Patience, finding beauty in the flaws just to name a few. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat and I can't wait until inspiration strikes again! Which makes me curious to know, have you ever taken on a long term project that was so worth the wait?

Color Crush


Today I am feeling totally inspired by some color and pattern! My current color crush has to be yellow and teal together! Which is why I had to share these pretty lovely wallpapers created by the oh so creative talented Free People. I am part of there Flickr group and I love everything they create and share there. What colors have you been crushing on lately?
