Hi ALL! Thought I would throw out some topic ideas for discussion and elaboration on our monthly themes;
1. Leaves or plants you love, expressed anyway you like including shapes, color, texture
2. Take an important word for you, say 'love', look it up in google in another language(s). It is 'encanta' in Spanish for instance. This can add such inspiration to a concept. In some way incorporate these letters of characters in graphics in a quilt. ie; applique letters in the borders, paint some fabric, use commercial fabric with letters,whatever.
3. The 'music of my life' What is your favorite piece? Beethoven's 5th, song from your wedding? Portray it somehow.
4. How about something you are frightened of? Spider,Fire, Tsunami? (Might help you get over it to have to study up and portray it)
5. 'Curves' these can be so much easier than people think. The you-tube video demo done by Alicia Merritt & the Ricky Tims ideas show how even beginners can play with these and make gorgeous goodies.
I am sure that you guys have some great ideas out there.
