Inspiration

Now that my fabric stash is at a manageable level, I find myself thinking about new work. I am instantly drawn to the drawn line of these tiles. Very quilty, no? Each one would make a great quilt or the repeated motif in one.

I am also inspired by the collages of Lisa Hochstein, using reclaimed paper. The edges are so important in the design and make it different than a pieced fabric work. But it could be fused and get a similar look. The layout of the elements are simple yet strong, something that always makes gets my juices flowing.

The playful trees and houses are so fun and have me thinking of small scenes in fabric. Fused of course.

So many great ideas are filling my brain. And the gardening is about to start soon too. What a wonderful life!

  3. Lisa Hochstein definitely quilts.

    But I'm looking at those tiles with the lines and thinking knitted afghan sampler. Or maybe crochet.
