Art Threads: Working on the Pinwheel Quilt
http://artthreads.blogspot.com/2015/03/working-on-pinwheel-quilt.html
Color - Mixing and Color Scheme Planning. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Working on the Pinwheel Quilt. After a few afternoons of sewing pinwheel squares, I finally finished and began putting the quilt top together. Right away I had to decide what color of plain squares to put between the pinwheels. Hmmm . it seemed that white or black would be the best bet, so I arranged the pieces using both. As you can see, each gave the quilt a very different feel! Now I'm busily quilting!

Color - Mixing and Color Scheme Planning. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Time Travel, Pineapple Scarf, and a Giveaway. I did a little time traveling today . for this story, we have to go back to June, 2009. Before we had either of our grandchildren and before we bought our Oregon farm. I was still teaching middle school art, working on my art ed master's degree, meaning to learn how to knit, and hadn't even started blogging yet. That June, my husband and I spent a wonderful few days at Skamania Lodge. And tu...

http://artthreads.blogspot.com/2015/05/works-in-progress.html
Color - Mixing and Color Scheme Planning. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. I'm never short of works in progress! This week, working on the pinwheel scrap quilt. Has taken a backseat to working on the garden. Our gardening season in Phoenix is a little backwards. Right now, the garden's approaching its peak and with all the rain this spring, it is quite a peak! I have been getting in my knitting time, however! Something for Charlie in Sirdar Snuggly Baby Bamboo's Lula colorway . This is Michaela Jandacek's Aisling.

Color - Mixing and Color Scheme Planning. Monday, November 17, 2014. After spending the fall so far in cooler, northern climates I feel like summer's returned! I'm back in Arizona and so enjoying the warm weather, fruit ripening, my garden, the flowers, and the lemons, figs, and clementines. And catching up with the kittens (though you can hardly call them that anymore! That were born in our attic. Since I'm enjoying my second chance at summer, it might seem strange that I knitted myself a hat! 4 Once I ...

Color - Mixing and Color Scheme Planning. Friday, May 8, 2015. Friday Inspiration - Doilies! I've been having fantastic luck finding doilies on my weekly Goodwill runs - some I'm dyeing, but others are in such great shape I'm considering leaving them white and doing some repurposing. I found lots and lots of ideas just Googling "repurposed doilies" and here are some of my favorites. This great apron was available on madeitcom.au. I really like this doily table runner from Under the Sycamore. Subscribe to...
