I never saw myself as a quilter. When I think of ladies who quilt, I think of old ladies who either use walkers or wish they used them. But recently I've been intrigued by the art and detail involved in quilting. Earlier this summer I visited Nancy Noel's art gallery with my mom (check out her link here), which holds a spectacular display of Nancy's incredible paintings. During the month of August several beautiful quilts are also put up for display. During my first visit, I was definitely interested. Today I revisited the art gallery with my mom and aunt, feeling and admiring the different patterns and needlework. Now, I am officially inspired. If you ever need motivation, inspiration, or a little encouragement in something you're about to embark, let me hook you up with my aunt. Number one, she is incredibly knowledgeable. Number two, she is insanely energetic. Number three, she is super fun. She and I talked with the two ladies who sewed the quilts. Both were extremely encouraging, inspiring, and helpful. My aunt ended up buying me an adorable quilt pillow kit to work on during my nine hour trip to school next week. So excited. I Googled quilts and found some pretty neat pieces for inspiration.
Love the colors in this one.
Gorgeous quilted wall hanging.
This is a delightfully elegant mouse pad.
This is busy, but beautiful.
What an adorable, sweet baby blanket.
This one is so traditional and old fashioned. I love it.
Fascinating detail.
I am inlove with the creative shape and color in this one.
Well, that's all for now. What's inspired you lately?
