Inspired by Helen Godden

 Last year I bought two of Helen Godden's drawings to hang near my Handiquilter Capri.  They are so inspiring to me.

Spring Flower Inspiration

It's been a crazy year.  We all know why so I have no desire to ruminate on it here.  However, I have been really bad about keeping up with blogging, but no more!  Back to three times a week:  Monday is for inspiration, Wednesday and Friday/Saturday for projects.

Here are some gorgeous spring flowers I've taken photos of while on walks with my mom this week.

Snowdrops


Daffodils


Flowers I don't know the name of with a few Daffodils


Crocuses

I hope you get to quilt today!

And enjoy the spring flowers too!

Random Inspiration

This was the fabric on a chair in the waiting room at a doctor's office.  I love the pattern.


 A Greek key design on the bottom of the ottomans.  Such fun!  You could piece it....it would take a LOT of patience.


I love the shape of these pots.

Random Inspiration

I love how the pieces of this tree fit together.  Could be interesting to do a quilt this way.


I love this pattern!


Flooring at the airport.  There are some great textures in these tiles.

Minnehaha Falls Inspiration

My older son and I went walking at Minnehaha Falls the other day and had a great time.  We saw lots of beautiful flowers including the ones below which were almost as large as a dinner plate!

Ukulele Inspiration

I was at my son's guitar lesson the other day and saw this set of Ukuleles.  It's a great color combo for a quilt!


A curtain


I love the wood grain on the back of this sign!

Star Inspiration

This week I'm inspired by these stars.  What if you cut a whole bunch of thin strips with fusible on the back and layered them like this, then cut out the star pattern?  Hmm.  I may have to try this.  It would totally make a fun Christmas ornament!  You could do it with any shape too.  Or you could do stitching lines or decorative stitches instead of strips of fabric!


I hope you get to quilt today!

A Quilter's Sneakers?

No....I didn't draw on the sneakers!  They came that way!  I was tempted, but had already fallen in love with another pair when I saw them.  They are totally quilterly however.  They are the TRAQ brand.

Inspired by My Kids

My kids always amaze me.  Here are a few of my son's drawings from last week.  Not copied, hand drawn himself.  He's into cartoony characters right now.


And here is the younger one teaching the older one to play guitar.


And a flower of course!
