Quilting and Patchwork

Quilting Inspiration from Your Photos

by Mary Emma Allen on June 5th, 2007

Keep your camera handy!  Don’t let those interesting photos escape you.  My daughter continually looks for inspiration for her quilting and fabric art in the world around here.  Recently she found some lovely spring flowers in thearea around  our home.   From lilacs, butterflies and lady slippers she gains inspiration and ideas. 

She also created a trillium design for one of her contributions to a round robin project.This is an example of a page for a round robin book created from a picture of trillium Beth took on one of her photography expeditions around our woodland last year.  When she needed something to inspire her page for the nature theme book, she took a look at her photos (stored on her computer) and found some of trillium.

So…..keep your camera with you and capture nature for your quilting and fabric art.
