How's this for inspiration? Collect those buttons, little cars and teeny toys to sew on your next textile creation...so much fun!
I couldn't agree more with Maxine on this- we had neighbors wait until we all went to bed and turned out our lights to start their fireworks... I live in a place that is surrounded by huge, dry pine trees....Glad my house is still here....they weren't so lucky across the way when a 12 year old lit some fireworks and 8 people lost their homes....scary...honestly this is no place to be lighting off fireworks and rockets...
Ran into this photo and wondered what this poor dog thought....it is creative though...and funny too
Just went to see Rock of Ages....I am with Maxine on this one...
Ran into Kellygirlquilts cow today and it totally made me smile....
I had to put this in here again because it is such a good example of what a person can do with the Flower Power book and various fabrics- Kathy Sandling did this at a retreat we attended in Tahoe and it is a fabulous quilt! What inspiration for scraps!
My cousin sent me this illustration and I think it is wonderful-great color and great invitation to creativity...,change it and make it your own so the artist doesn't even know they inspiration they gave you-this is the fun and challenge of art!
I do not believe in copying anything....EVER
MORE blocks you have not ever seen....
My friends Molly and Tina deciding what the next fabric to buy will be-both these girls do great and original work...they love to invent! Inventing is FUN!
After being in Texas and Oklahoma, I am hooked on trims and what they can do for a quilt! I hope to complete two quilts I am working on using these...reds have always been my favorite!
I ran into this photo of a quilt by Eilene Hamilton for her neice...very hoochy and very fun!
This photo is one of my all time favorite's...this darling girl knows how to have fun and she got an A= in my workshop too!!

Count me in for next year Mary Lou, I loved going to Farm Chicks.
Sandi
Oh, how I wish that I could join you next year! The timing is not good because last day of school is June 5th, and I'll be swamped with work until then, and I'm not permitted to request a sub. . . I'll start planning now and see if I can fly up for the 1st and 2nd of June. . . At least that way I could join in for some of the fun!
hugs,
Carol
Wendy and I were just waiting for the dates to enter in our calendar! Can't wait!!!
Mary Lou, I love your creations!! On your side-bar I saw some children singing the National Anthem and they were so great. Now I can;t find it. Where can I find that? I wanted to share that with my husband.
Thanks, Sandra
