Inspiration :)

Hi all!

It has been some time since blogging last, so here is a few links that I have found inspirational while surfing the great net:

http://comfortstitching.typepad.co.uk/ - Wonderful quilts and tutorials

http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com - You probably know CrazyMomQuilts, but she is soooo worth a revisit! I have linked to her latest quilt along, wich is only in it's 2nd week (and first little bit sewn)

http://bighugelabs.com/ - You can, with FREE downloadable programs make the coolest and funniest stuff with your photos (benath, see the thingy I did in 2 minutes) or find the colourway in a picture thatinspires you, just look for the color pallette generator!It also works with Flickr (look for Scout) to find out if any of your uploads have been featured on the Flickr Explore pages. Mine have!!

This cake!! I need to make me one of these someday - just too yummy!
Or.... this cake! I cannot tak it anymore - such yummyness *drooooool*

Well... I'd better go clean the appartment. Have to do it, but I just want to eat cake now.. HAH!
Have a lovely day, all of you :)

For about a year I have been following the QuiltingBeeBlocks photo pool on Flickr.
I have also added photos of my own VQB blocks for inspiration to other fellow quilters (that is how it works).
Now it has it's own blog at http://www.quiltingbeeblocks.com , which I think is a GREAT idea!
Also, there is a huge opening give-away - go check it out :), and then consider joining us :)

Virtual Quilting Bees really is a good way to try new blocks, fabrics, and colour combinations.

It has dragged me out of my comfort zone a couple of times and I have learned to deal with triangles, woooohooo! But always in a good way, that is! If you have not tried a VQB, I recommend that you do - it is great fun!

Inspiration - again!

Is this not the nicest colour combination??!!?

I would personally never have dared combining the lavender and lime, nor the dusty bluish green against the celery green. But it all just looks so inspiring and yummy.

For further pictures and more ideas, check out her Flick photos (click this photo) or visit her homepage at www.dontcallmebecky.com.

Have a wonderful day!

This will be put on my 'Must-do-list' at once! Not necessarily as is but something like it.

Yet another set of quilt photos that made my evening even better!

I really like that swirtly quilting, gives the quilt such a soft touch to the edgy rectangles...

Amazing use of colours - look at her quilts!
