The Coshocton Canal Quilters show is in the books. I sold a little, bought a little, met some
new faces, and discovered a great local pizza place. Should you find yourself in Coshocton, Ohio,
whether it is to visit Roscoe Village, or for something else, I recommend
Crowtown Pizza on Second Street. If you
are reading this blog for the first time after finding me at the Coshocton
show, welcome to my world of ramblings!
If you bought something from me, thank you. I’d love to see what you make from my fabric.
I often have people tell me, whether it is referring to art
quilts in general or the unusual textiles that I sell, that they like what they
see but don’t know where to start in making something unique. There are many ways to address the “blank
page” challenge. One quick way to get started is to pick out
three or four fabrics that you like, cut a few simple shapes from them, and
start playing with different arrangements.
Decide on a finished size, keep it small, and when you get an
arrangement you like, start sewing.
As I mentioned in the opening of this post, I bought a few
things over the weekend including some neat vintage quilt blocks and fabric
scraps. I have enough fabric to work
with already, but these vintage treasures kept calling me. I’m inspired to create something with them.
In the next post (hopefully on Thursday), I will give an example
of the playing with shapes method of starting a composition.
