Spring floral kaleidoscope.

It was snowing in Photoshop today so I decided to try one more snowdye...

The latest snow dyes fabrics are not ready yet--they are in the middle of their twelve hour soak. So here's a kaleidoscope pattern using a slice of the spiral snow dye fabric I showed a couple of days earlier. And yes, I revised and subdued the coloring a bit.

Sweet dreams kaleidoscope.

This is what I would get if I took the QOV that I'm currently working on, cut it into identical 60 degree triangles and then sewed those together.

Here's the kaleidoscope pattern from yesterday using a different colorway.

I was asked to show the bookcases from yesterday's post from straight on. Here's the contents of the first bookcase.

And here are the contents of the second bookcase.

 And this is the third bookcase which contains the quilting books. I had never thought of taking a photograph of my books before, but I can see how this may prove to be quite handy.

And here's a kaleidoscope pattern using a swatch of books from the first bookcase. It has an odd Christmas feel with snowflakes.

This area is expecting an ice storm tomorrow so I thought I would bring in a hummingbird floral pattern to lighten the mood. No worries. The hummingbirds left in the middle of September and aren't expected back until middle of April.

Kaleidoscope pattern of maple leaves from this fall. This is one of the most colorful maples in my yard, but this year it turned mostly speckled brown, then threw in some brighter colors at the very end. Below is the photo that I used to make the kaleidoscope pattern. I took the photo by leaning out of a second story window.

A little quilt improvisation in Photoshop on a section sampled from the fractured quilt.

Sunflowers.

Fall leaves are now past peak. As some of the maple leaves transition from their summer green to bright yellow, they pass through a wonderful spring green. I am trying to capture enough of it to hold me through winter.

A maple tree behind the house is having a party of one. 

And here's a diagonal pattern sampled from maple leaves that blew free during a windy day.

How could I resist? This is the 3X3 quilt section turned into a kaleidoscope pattern.
