30 Days of Sketchbook Joy

Continuing with the on-going challenge… Day 20: Analogous Color Palette This prompt is one that is well within my comfort zone.  I like analogous color schemes a lot.  However, I wanted more direction, so I decided to use the prompt cards—a combination of the bought set and my handmade ones.   The color card I chose […]

Going Off-Prompt

Over the weekend, I string-pieced some more of the blue and grey blocks.  I think I only need four more—if I stick with the original plan.  I’m not sure I will.  I might go with a different sashing, which could mean I might need more blocks.  We’ll see… No new photos, yet.  Day 19: Earth-Tone […]

30 Days of Sketchbook Joy I know, I know.  I spent the last half (at least) of January complaining about the daily challenge I was doing, so what am I thinking, starting another daily challenge in February?  Well, time will tell, but I think this challenge is more up my alley.  There are fewer limitations, […]

Relaxing Weekend

New String Quilt Project This was just a relaxing weekend.  I watched a couple of movies, we played Scrabble, and I spent some time having fun in the craft room.  I trimmed down a stack of string blocks to give me something to do while I watched part of a movie.  Here they are before […]
