Thought I’d throw a purple photo essay your way today, especially after my lengthy treatise about pattern writing this past Tuesday. I’m a fan, a big fan of PURPLE as you can see:
Purple Flowers
Purple Food–Think beyond grapes!
Yeah, okay . . . we’re talking blueberries and blackberries, yet more fruit, but at least in ice-cream form.
Red-Violet Warms the Cool Temperature of a Blue-Toned Quilt
What Happens When You Marry Purple Tones With Yellow-Orange? More Visual Magic!
Where Does This Color Essay Lead? Fun With Prints!
Funky room in a recent issue of Elle Decor. See that folded red/white blanket? That’s my starting point.
Purple and red-violet with tangerine accents, a favorite color combination of mine. It’s time to evolve my guest-room decor, as a matter of fact. Stay tuned for the results, but beware, it’ll take me a while . . .
Quilt Shop Update
Just wanted to let you know that our local shop, Wooden Gate Quilts, changed hands recently and we fabric shoppers are so happy to hear that news. Many thanks and a very fond bye-bye to Marby Bennett who will now have more time to sew her own quilts and play with her granddaughter.
