I'm a firm believer that one increases their creativity by being open to and playing with a variety of cretative endeavors ... at least that my excuse for today. Enjoy your sourjourn through my studio playroom. May you find encouragement and inspiration, and on occassion, a little pin-prick that may be thought-provoking or spark your imagination. Thank you for stopping by.


    1 SQUARE+1SQUARE=STARS

    SANDY'S DARK SQNSQ SANDY'S LIGHT SQNSQ

     

     

     

        

     

     

    How can that be? How can 1 dark square in a square plus 1 light square in a square equal a star?

    But look, when you put them all together alternating light and dark, stand back and look again and you'll start to see stars popping out all over. The funny things is that I didn't see the stars while I was quilting this quilt for Sandy. It wasn't until I was taking pictures after I was all finished that I saw the secondary pattern of stars. It is a classic case of using the reducing lens (looking through the lense of your camera or using the peephole unit without the door, lol, or even using a set of binoculars backwards) to get a different view of your quilt. Try it - you'll be amazed by a change in persepective.

    I used a customer favorite as a quilting pattern across the quilt top for Sandy ... 1102 RIPPLES.
