Grey, grey, grey. In the middle of winter in Vermont, all I see is grey. So I decided to head downstairs to my studio and play with color. What better way to deal with all of the winter blahs than to play with bright, spring colors?
This new quilt is one I am calling Rainbow Sherbet and evokes memories of push pops on sweltering summer days in Alabama when I was a child. Some folks think I am strange to pair raspberry pink with bright orange, but I love it. It makes me think of lilies in my garden or cheerful cosmos or maybe the lovely monarch butterflies around my rose bushes. I just smile when I see it. With the lime green that reminds me of grass and the sunshine yellow, I am ready for the snow to melt and the robins to come back.
Hi Jennifer…what a bright, pretty quilt!!! I’m also in snowy Vermont and I really love the Winter here. LOL
(The longer and snowier the Winter, the better I like it!!!)
As a rug hooker, there’s nothing better than sitting in front of the wood stove hooking with wonderful strips of wool and cooking a big pot of soup or stew to have with crusty bread for supper!!
Since I create in a folk art style, you might expect bright colours…but usually my colours are muted, grayed or darkened in the designs I create. I’m glad I found your blog…I’ll put you on my list to visit often and see what you’re up to!!!!
Warm regards, Sunnie : )
I think it is a great color combination. You certainly hit the push pops right on.
