I bought myself a little gift of three tiny sketchbooks from KAW Handmade on Etsy. I chose these notebooks because I love how the screen printed covers are reminiscent of quilt blocks themselves.
My plan is to always have one with me, along with a set of colored pencils, so I can sketch ideas that come to me about quilt blocks and mini quilts. I've been finding inspiration in a lot of places. Here's the result of my first batch of sketches:
Inspired by Deb's sweater |
Inspired by the bar code on my lip balm, and the floor tiles in my bathroom |
Inspired by Chopped on the Food Network, and the bricks at the war memorial on my walk to work |
Inspired by little buntings that I'm seeing in crafty shops |
Which one do you like best?
(And psst! check back tomorrow - I'll be asking YOU for inspiration, and there will be a BIG giveaway as a result!)
Hey - that's my sweater! So honored that my outfit could inspire a quilt! :)
