Hi! I'm Tara and I'm the Blonde Chicken behind all this yarn! You can read more about how I got this This week I’ve been nearly obsessed by patchwork and fabric dyeing. I can feel myself being sucked into new crafty pursuits!
- Lisa Cogden’s quilty pillows. I especially love her use of patches; we have a lot of band patches laying around and I’d love to work them into something we can see everyday.
- 6.5 stitches is another quilter that uses little unexpected touches like tags and untraditional textures.
- Stitch in Dye is so inspiring, I woke up on Saturday thinking about the use of color and line in her fabric and quilts.
- My (so far just theoretical) foray into patchwork has turned up a bunch of great fabrics like:
- The Echino Woodland Damask
- Amy Butler’s Belle collection
- And my favorites are the handmade fabrics from indie sellers:
Sprout Designs
Auntie Cookie
Kristen Doran
Hollabee
What am I going to do with all this inspiration? I’ve been spending a good amount of time absorbing ‘input’ and I almost feel ready for some ‘output’ of the quilty variety. Wait and see.
