I’ve had several things going on at once, so this is a mash-up of several of them.
First, I was forced (OK, not) to buy this Lotta Jansdotter FQ bundle:
Just too cute to leave behind! It started with seeing those funky cat faces, and after that it was a “must do” 😉 I’ll let you know when it’s a quilt!
The other thing I’ve been working on is getting ready for a class I’ll be taking with Esterita Austin at Quiltfest in Tennessee later this month. It’s all about learning a technique for painting on quilts, so it will be quite new to me. I love to learn new stuff, so I’m really looking forward to it!
I considered a lot of different photos as my starting point, but Esterita really, really, seems to like closeups of machinery, so this is what I settled on:
Steve’s Cement Mixer
And here are some of the rejects:
Personally, I’m much more into the nature stuff, but I make it a point to try the teacher’s way the first time around. And I DO recall from basic design class that closeups of object sometimes make for great designs. I’ll let you see what comes of this!
Zippy Quilts 
Looking forward to seeing results of your class.
Well, it was INTERESTING. Stay tuned 🙂
There’s a lot of potential in your machinery photo! Sounds like an interesting class.
Well, theclass WAS interesting…more later 😏
I can’t wait to hear more about the class and see what you have done.
This is so interesting.
Well, it was interesting, and something mostly new to me.
It’s great learning new things. This is one of the reasons I enjoy your blog.
Sorry to hear you were forced to buy a lovely Lotta Jansdotter fabric bundle, ha! I love the kitty faces! Collection of very cool photos and inspiration!
Looking forward to hearing about your class! Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks! It’s good to hear from you 😀
