FMQ, seeing inspiration everywhere
We went to dinner on Monday, to a Celtic pub. I may have embarrassed DH a little by taking a photo of the menu. No, I wasn't going to post it on UrbanSpoon, or whatever. The Celtic Knot looked like something I might be able to FMQ....
Then there were the 2 pictures I took at the veterinarian...
I am a little ashamed to say, I never saw any of this before I read one of Karen McTavish's books. She said you should be able to find it everywhere. She's right.
Where are other people finding non-traditional inspiration?

I keep a little sketch book in my purse for capturing patterns. The very popular Labyrinth Walk pattern is from a floor mosaic. Ami Simms devoted a whole book to Roman mosaics in 1991. Classic Quilts: Patchwork Designs from Ancient Rome.

I was in Italy a couple of years ago....went into instant sensory overload the minute we stepped off the plane and into the airport, and it was downhill from there! I have never been so overwhelmed with design choices - everywhere - as I was, there! And we won't even go into what the Sistine Chapel did to me....
