White Christmas in July meets Colour Inspiration Tuesday

White Christmas quilt color scheme by Clever Chameleon

Welcome to my stop on the Christmas in July blog hop. And, since it’s Tuesday, its also our weekly Colour Inspiration Tuesday link up party. Merry Christmas-in-July!

Island Batik challenge July Today I can show you my new Christmas quilt in full! This quilt is also my Island Batik Ambassador project for July. I do hope you’ll like it, it is going to be a very welcome addition to our family’s Christmas decor this year. I’ll finish telling you its story today as well , after having to leave you hanging a bit yesterday.

And I know all this Christmas excitement is a bit distracting, but don’t forget, you can show me what you are working on (or have just finished) by linking up to the Chameleon’s Colour Party at the end of this post. Everyone is welcome at the Chameleon’s quilt and sewing party every Tuesday…. if you don’t blog or use social media you can still join in with just a photo. I’d love to see what you’re making!

But first, come on in and see my new quilt “White Christmas”.

Mallee Ringneck Parrot: Colour Inspiration Tuesday and Linky Party

Mallee Ringneck Parrot color scheme from Clever Chameleon

Hello!! We are back safely from the Outback.

Which means I have internet and phone coverage again. And that means that I will be slowly catching up on all your lovely comments and seeing what everyone else has been doing on their blogs recently. Being off grid is nice for a while, but quilting is really quite a socially centred pursuit, don’t you think?

The technical isolation of the Outback does have an upside…. for me, heading bush is a time of mental clearing, and of gathering fresh inspiration. Space and time to think and muse over possibilities. Usually quilted ones. 🙂 Arkaroola is especially good for this, being so ruggedly beautiful, and also a bit of a magnet for artistic and inventive people. You never know who you will meet there and what you might learn.

Want to know who I met on this trip and what we did? Of course you do! 🙂

Colours on Show: Colour Inspiration Tuesday and Linky Party

Colours on Show color scheme at Clever Chameleon

I have been inspired to keep working on my designing and quilting this week by lots and lots and lots of local quilt talent!

There were so many great quilts and so many talented quilters at our state guild Festival of Quilts over the weekend  that I could almost feel myself getting more and more talented, just through osmosis. Luckily the show was only 3 days in length, or I’d probably have exploded with transferred brilliance. hahahahaha 😉 Silliness aside, there was a lot of wonderful inspiration at the show and I have a plethora of quilty thoughts to muse going forward.

Here are a just few more insights to some of the show goings on for your own weekly inspiration…..

Rainbow Retreat – Colour Inspiration Tuesday and Linkup

Rainbow Retreat colour scheme by Clever Chameleom

My First Quilt Retreat!

Last weekend I went on my very first quilt retreat.  About 3.5 hours out of Adelaide, in Bordertown, not far from where I grew up. I have to say,  I had the best time. I definitely could get used to sewing all hours in fun company while someone else manages the housework and cooking! 🙂

The retreat was called a Pick-A-Case Mystery Retreat, and was run by the lovely Judy of News by Jude. Everyone on the retreat received a different quilt to sew, mostly pre-cut. What a lot of work Judy puts into this! The fabrics in the colour board above were supplied for my mystery quilt, along with a white-on-white print. Do you want to know what I made?

Leaf-tastic Yellow-Green: Colour Inspiration Tuesday and Link Party

July is coming! Are you ready!? No?! Join the club and bunker down  – it’s coming anyway! At least that means the next Beary Colourful BOM Bear is on his way.

I am noticing that all my Northern Hemisphere blogging friends are posting lots of pretty Spring and Summery-looking garden posts. Rays of sunshine in my cold grey wintery days. Sadly, our recent wintery days are probably not actually as grey as they should be – we really could do with a lot more rain before Spring arrives to turn the neighbourhood yellow-green again.

Yellow-green and preying for rain…..

Yellow-Green for July

July will undoubtably be chilly here, but I am warming to Spring early this year. Because July’s Color Challenge colour is yellow-green, a colour that always reminds me of fresh growth. So July’s Beary Colourful Bear will be yellow-green and celebrating all things growing like a garden in the Spring. Don’t forget to head over to Facebook for some sneak peeks of July’s bear over the next few days. And I might try to put them on Instagram this month too – look at me growing and getting all tech savvy!  *lol snort* Watch @cleverchameleon to see if I succeed!

And read on for reminders about June’s Color Challenge prize link-up, the fun features from last week’s Colour Inspiration Tuesday link-up and your chance to woo the Chameleon this week with your own quilts.
