Vibrant Violet: Colour Inspiration Tuesday and Link Party

 Vibrant Violet colour scheme by Clever Chameleon

September and October are going to be Very Violet for the 2018 Monthly Colour Challenge

During September we will celebrate all things pinkish-purple – partying on the red side of violet. And then in October we will even things up with the bluer side of the colour family. All very pretty, to be sure.

Purples are high on my list of colours to feature on a quilt. No difficulties there. But I am a little worried about one thing. I suspect what two months of thinking about soft purples really means is…….  I am going to spend 9 weeks thinking all too often about berry-flavoured frozen treats…. mmmmm….

So, to make sure I am not alone in this torturous state, there is one Berry Colourful Bear appliqué coming right up!

There is also lots of new blog hop action for September, a Pattern Tester call and last week’s quilter link up features all packed into this post. Welcome back to Colour Inspiration Tuesday at Clever Chameleon!

Yellow Orange Bear of Loving Friends appliqué by Clever Chameleon

Did you know that Sunday just gone was World Friendship Day? How very appropriate, because it’s our Yellow-Orange Bear’s favourite day of the year!

Yellow-Orange Bear knows that many of the most precious things in life are people – family and good friends. In fact, building great relationships is his speciality, And right at the top of his list of great relationships are the respectful, fun, mutually supportive, loving friendships that make the world go around. 

Please welcome the very cordial Yellow-Orange Bear of Loving Friends to the Beary Colourful family. Since you will be creating him, he will embody all of the traits that you appreciate in your closest friends. The people you know that you can really rely on, even if you don’t see them as often as you’d like.

The eighth bear in the Beary Colourful Quilt BOM series is cheery and bright and will always stand by you.  Add this loyal bear to your collection to celebrate the wonder of great friendship on your Beary Colourful quilt. And then go check out the rest of the 2018 Color Challenge posts for other ideas of how to celebrate the colour yellow-orange and enter for August’s prize.

Beary Colourful BOM: Always Growing Yellow-Green Bear

 Yellow-Green Bear of Always Growing by Clever Chameleon

The Always Learning Green Bear from May has been exploring his family tree and he has discovered a cousin! Please welcome the aspirational July Yellow-Green Bear to the Beary Colourful family.

If you spend much time with young children on a regular basis, you will know that they love to think that they are “Big”. And also that they are “Bigger”. Bigger than their siblings….bigger than their peers….. bigger then that mark on the wall that shows how tall they used to be. 

Growth charts never really go out of fashion, do they? The motifs on them might change but the very simple act of repeatedly measuring yourself on the wall never grows old. And getting taller is linked to some pretty exciting milestones. Especially if you are aiming to beat a height restriction for that ride at the theme park. 120cm was the obsessed-over mark by my kids, thanks to the waterslide at the local pool. Thankfully, for my sanity, my youngest child is very tall for his age!

So, since I strongly associate the colour yellow-green with fresh growth, the seventh bear in the Beary Colourful Quilt BOM series celebrates all things growing. With a garden on his tummy, a growth chart by his side and an aspirational posture, this bear expects bigger and better things. Or a splat in the eye. Hahahaha, poor bear; I think he’s safe enough with no birds on this quilt. Keep on striving, little bear!

Bring Out Your Bears!! Join the Teddy Bears’ Picnic.

Teddy Bears' Picnic at Clever Chameleon

The 2018 Monthly Color Challenge is half done, and so are our Beary Colourful Bears. I think that calls for a mini-celebration, don’t you? So, let’s have a Teddy Bears’ Picnic!

Are you doing the Beary Colourful BOM with me? Want to, but need a little nudge? Well, here we go! I would love to see your bears. Even if I have already seen them before. I think they’d look great en masse so let’s give it a try it shall we?

Purple Bear of a Little Bit SillyAt the bottom of this post is a link party. A Teddy Bears’ Picnic. If you have completed any or all of the Beary Colourful Bears, you are invited to link up a picture of each one. And for each bear you link up to my Teddy Bears’ Picnic, you will receive an entry into a random prize draw. Two lucky bears will be offered an exclusive quilted postcard from the Chameleon and me, to be sent anywhere in the world.

I know, right!!?!! Pick yourself up off the floor! Exclusive. Dare I say….. collectable?!! hahahaha

Tokens they may be, but sincerely meant and all yours. Stitched into them will be all of my huge appreciation of everyone who has been a part of this very fun BOM journey so far.  And if you win, you’ll still have your postcard once you’ve gifted your Beary Colourful quilt.  🙂 Or you can use it as a unique gift card with your quilt if you are that way inclined.

So if you’ve made a bear or plan to soon, join our picnic. Show us your bears!

Beary Colourful BOM: A Little Bit Silly Purple Bear

Purple Bear of a Little Bit Silly by Clever Chameleon

I’m sure you know that it’s healthy to let your hair down once in a while. Well, let’s do that today and be just a little bit silly!

Have you got a friend who knows exactly how to make you smile when you think you’d rather be grumpy? Who won’t let you  indulge in the doldrums if there’s even a whiff of ridiculous about the situation? The Purple Bear is one of those people…. and he wants you to smile today! Please welcome June’s Purple Bear of A Little Bit Silly to our growing Beary Colourful family.

The sixth bear in the Beary Colourful Quilt BOM series is a bit of a clown. Totally harmless, but can always be relied upon to liven things up a little. Great to have around when things are a bit glum or the weather is gloomy. Or when you are feeling great too, for that matter. Add this fun bear to your collection for a touch of eccentric on your Beary Colourful quilt.

And then go check out the rest of the 2018 Color Challenge posts for other ideas of how to celebrate the colour purple and enter for June’s prize.
