In the meantime you have a week left to get your orange creations done for April and linked up at Patterns by Jen to be in the running for a Fat Eighth pack of Pumpkin Patch fabrics from Island Batik. 2018 Monthly Color Challenge

Green. Our next colour of the month is soothing, healing and relaxing. Time to take a breather from the recent warm stimulating colours of our monthly challenge and chill out with green.

Colour Inspiration Tuesday: Silly Galah

Were you the target of any April Fools’ Day pranks this year? I hope you weren’t caught out as a Silly Galah!

The weekend before the Easter break, Paul and I had the rare pleasure of two nights away without the kids….. actually it might be the first time we’ve had two consecutive nights away without the kids……hmmmmm. Anyway, we escaped out of the city and spent two days in the Adelaide Hills, admiring the beginnings of autumn, relishing the warm weather and drinking in the quiet. It felt amazing.

On the second afternoon, Paul decided to have a post-schnitzel snooze and I lurked about the farm where we were staying. Mostly I was trying to get some horse photos for our daughter. But the only animals that seemed to want their pictures taken was this flock of galahs.

They seemed to be having a lovely afternoon too!  Continue reading “Colour Inspiration Tuesday: Silly Galah”

Colour Inspiration Tuesday: The next Colour in the 2018 Monthly Color Challenge is Orange.

If that is not enough, orange symbolises balance and enjoyment too. That is one impressive list. By rights, orange should be my favourite colour!  (But it’s not……)

Colour Inspiration Tuesday: Strawberry Thief

Strawberry Thief colour scheme by Clever Chameleon

Welcome to Vintage Colour Inspiration Tuesday – Looking backwards to inspire us forwards!

In not too many days it will be Easter (!) and then April (!!!!). So while I am still finishing up some experiments with my new-to-me March technique of turned appliqué, I am also starting to muse over next month’s Island Batik challenge. Which is to make a quilt larger than 36″ square, inspired in some way by a vintage quilt or quilt block.
