Sometimes when your weather turns gloomy with rain, it’s best to try new things… specifically new quilty things… and specifically new quilty things in cheery colors!

Took another ‘last-minute’ workshop where I learned ‘origami with fabric’ techniques. I chose to work with a spunky turquoise, lavender and butter floral that I added to my stash this autumn. E gave me some matching turquoise and I played with the colors for each folded design. The edged Prairie Points and Square-in-Squares came together very easily, while the Harlequin tucks and smocking were both interesting and time consuming. Stay tuned… these will make a vibrant purse!
