Color Play Friday - Bobbins

Hello and welcome to another Color Play Friday!

It has been a busy week and I'm not sure if I'm glad it's Friday or not! On the one hand, it's good that this busy week is over but on the other hand, I could use an extra day or two before the weekend!

For those of you who may be new, Color Play Friday is a weekly challenge hosted by Trina from In an Otter Life and Lorinda from Laurel, Poppy and Pine. Every week they provide one of their own photographs and then the CPF participants create a color palette and coordinating fabric bundle based on the photo. Fun!

This week's photo is called Bobbins.

We all have plenty of these sitting around! Confession time. I really only use one bobbin! I know, I know! All you quilters out there who pre-wind a bunch at a time are probably gasping with shock. I just don't like to have a lot of loose bobbins all over the place, pre-wound or not. 

Do you have a bunch of pre-wound bobbins? How do you store them?

Anyway, here is what I came up with for the week.

This photo did not offer up a lot in terms of color. I had to zoom in and then zoom in again to find that bit of lavender. It was hiding inside one of the bobbins. The medium grays also came from around that area. I know it's hard to tell but I promise those colors came from this photo! Lol.

I "shopped" at Hawthorne Threads again this week. I'm not sponsored by them or anything like that; I just find it really easy to use their color grid tool to search for fabrics.

Color Play Friday - Idaho Storm

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Color Play Friday!

You may have noticed that it's been a little quiet on the blog lately. I took some time off to visit family. I can't think of a better way to get back to blogging than to play along with Color Play Friday!

Color Play Friday is a fun weekly challenge hosted by Trina from In an Otter Life and Lorinda from Laurel, Poppy and Pine. Each week they choose one of their photos and then all the participants create a color palette and a fabric bundle based on the photo.

This week's photo is called Idaho Storm.

I love a good rainbow. :) I've never been to Idaho but this is pretty much what I think it looks like. I also expect to see a lot of potatoes there.

Anyway, here is what I came up with for this week.

I really love the palette this time around. I think it has a bit of a washed out feel to it. It was actually pretty difficult to find coordinating fabrics though. I originally had some florals picked out but when I found that Dena Fishbein print I knew I wanted to go in a more geometric direction. I tried to find "softer" geometrics. I always feel like there is a softness in the air after a storm and I didn't want any harsh geometrics to clash with that.
