Wouldn't this make a great quilted panel? There are so many ideas for applique and quilt patterns and even just admiring the pretty pictures! This section of the book is called doodling and is full of really cool filler designs.
I'm really taken by this sun and moon! Endless possibilities with free motion quilting, really makes me want to practice more! And I love the message on the spine of the book. Use your creativity to de-stress!
That's not happening around this neck of the woods at the moment! I've had a tummy bug since last Thursday, my crafty space is a right mess and I've a deadline August 1st for a pattern I'm putting together for a baby quilt!
So WIP this Wednesday - get this mess sorted, so I can make test blocks and get on with making some stuff!
Then maybe buy some more storage boxes...
But look what I found tidying up. Some stamps for paper crafts. Wouldn't these make really nice applique patterns?

I had no idea these existed, I want some! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool colouring book! I love it! Sorry to hear you have not been feeling well, Ruth. Hope you soon are back to your old self and can make progress on that deadline. Can't wait to see what you are making!
ReplyDeleteI too am so glad you shared this "find" with us! What fun...I might order it for my weekly staff meetings...that are way toooo long!! LOL!! Feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteDo you want any more of those stamps? I have a small drawer full and I need to start chucking things out - once you're tidy and everything of course. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, I could definitely get sucked into a coloring book like that! I used to color in college as stress relief. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you are so right Ruth - at least the way you have filled the spaces it would make beautiful quilted designs! Thank you for sharing this on Bee Social! I hope you do make that sun and moon as a quilt! Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, those patterns would make lovely applique. I just went through some of my old teaching things and found some clip art books that went straight into the craft room. Inspiration is everywhere! I hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your pattern making! I hope you meet your deadline and feel a lot better soon!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a deadline for motivation! A clean space is great, and unearthing forgotten treasures is a bonus. Hope you get your quilt finished in time, and that you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteColouring books for adults is around in Japan maybe 20 years. Not like those but morelike water colour by colouring pencils. The one you have look more like zentangle.Looks like a good fun.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, our deadline is looming ... you've had a tummy bug, we've all had head colds - typical! Let's cheer each other on to the finish line :)
ReplyDeleteI love the coloring book. It looks like so much fun! Hope you're feeling better :)
ReplyDeleteColoring and creativity really are therapeutic. You may not be feeling good but your head seems abuzz with ideas! Hope you feel better soon and your stamps are darling!!
