help...need funky quilt idea
So far, I've made a funky chicken, farm, cat, zoo, bug, dog and cat, Halloween, & Christmas quilts.
I love them b/c they're funky and you can use wild fabrics. so what else can i funk-a-tize? Sorry, no camera, but I know people in the swaps b4 have seen them. Oh also a funky under the sea and shark ones for my nephews as wall hangings with their names. |
how about hats?
|
Funky cakes ...
Funky food |
Monkey? Or shoes
|
How about a neighborhood with houses? Or one crazy house.. Let your imagination run wild. I am in the idle of making my boss. He lives on the water in Merrick. I have the beach, water, and all kind of funny things on it including lady bugs, and a bee on his foot.. Right now he is hanging on the wall naked, so I have to make clothes..
|
Barri, I vote to leave him naked.
funky food sounds good to. In my dining area I have a pizza, hotdog and hamburger. across from that I have a bottle of ketchup squeezing out ketchup. the streamis red rattail. I squished some on the floor and traced around it to make it realistic and the squirts are hanging off the edge. |

Funky Horses! With a great big tooth filled smiles, straw hats and straw hanging out of their teeth

I just did one with funky tumblers as an I spy (with no two fabrics the same). It's the tumbler shape which is not the same as tumbling blocks. I did them without any sashings inbetween so funky fabric next to another funky fabric. I wish I could figure out how to post pics here but alas I'm technologically challenged. But it's really funky because the shapes go one up, one down and it's pretty different looking when it's finished.

How about funky quilters, aren't we all anyway.
|
How about some funky angels. Those that look down and be helpful so as to:
not prick your finger when hand sewing. find the right ruler when you need it. keep the bobbin full. find just the right material in the scrap basket. not spill the wine on your just finished top. keep the iron hot. locate the last half of the pattern you are making. stop the clock so you can stay in your quilting room......... peace |

I've done most of these suggestions. my farm has funky tools and tress and horses. i did some houses for a friend think dr. seuss did sports at a job with emb machine. did funky boats and fish and jobs too
i feel they are freeing and liberating. use all the fun fabrics and trims too. my bugs are so cute, i'd like them for pets. |
Would love to see pictures of some of your creations lynnie. Do you have a blog or facebook or album where you share your pretties?
|
