Finding beauty everywhere you go.....

I just decided to add Quiltdiva Julie's quilt at the top of this posting to show how cool those flying geese look across the top-I think it is very exciting to see what people did at the school and then when they got home.....plaids rock!

So, I took some random photos at the folk school and saw many opportunities for quilt ideas...this happens everywhere I go. Though many people would have walked through the garden (loads of mosquitoes in there) and not seen much, I saw so many things that were truly beautiful. The leaves with all of their shapes, the flowers, the mountains, trees, a butterfly here and there and this funny scarecrow that begs to be put into some kind of a quilt- beauty is all around you as well as ideas for more art, all you have to do is pay attention and it doesn't hurt to write a list of things you are thankful for...."Gratitude and Unhappiness cannot co-exist"

This is such a lovely old building and would be beautiful done in fabric....And the one above is equally as wonderful don't you think???

The garden outhouse-I haven't seen one of these in years....love the moon cut out....

These leaves were HUGE and they would look so cool done in lightgiver greens on a quilt.... Most scarecrows have some kind of silly head...this scarecrow seemed so real in some ways and kind of spooky...though the morning glories on him were whimsical

There is something so delightful about gourds and their shapes....on a quilt they are magic!

I thought these old gloves along with the pumpkins would make a great paint study...don't you? Everywhere you look at the folk school there are ideas to put on a quilt. I especially loved this flower below because I imagined layers fabrics into a flower or wide rick rack....
