The decor in the studio has had sort of a beach theme. I have lots of prints from both the east and west coasts that I used in there but decided I need a change. The blue and white quilt (and curtains and pillow covers) are all coming out and I am replacing them with lots of bright colors - predominantly turquoise, lime green and pink. I have made a quilt using some fun Riley Blake fabrics and white Kona cotton. It is very different (for me) and has a "modern" vibe. I have the fabric for curtains and I will piece both a valence and pillow covers. I bought a lot of new storage containers in turquoise and lime and the studio feels much lighter and brighter.
Hopefully this weekend I will be able to drag the quilt tops outside and do a little photo shoot. I really don't like posts without photos. How about you?
Well, glad to hear what you are doing. I can't wait to see a photo of the new, lighter feeling studio. Modern colors... etc.
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to lighten up my stash with new stuff... but to match what I have I get older looking fabrics. bummer. I love turquoise and reds (but don't have any) I like lime green but have only a few...
Love your red and white zig zag quilt. And, I positively use color catchers all the time with my quilting fabrics... either before and even after a quilt. Even though all fabric is washed coming into the house I've had some quilts bleed so now I throw in lots of color catchers with any quilt I wash.
