our hope is that we'll be able to explore color and structure of fabric art by utilizing a photo. the plan is that we will both agree on one photo... give ourselves a small timeline, and then reveal. i think it's going to more than interesting to see how each person can look at the same photo and be inspired to create piece of art through fabric that ( most likely ) will look quite different but completely unique! my personal goal next year is to stretch my quilting skills by embracing a more improv stylizing with color! wanta play with us?? we'd love to have you... check out out the new Flickr group for an amazing amount of collect photo's!!{portland pairs} quilt inspiration thru photography

This sums up our mission!
...in a never-ending search for inspiration, we're hoping to compile a group of photos that YOU would love to see interpreted into quilts.. your photos are the starting point (and hopefully you can be inspired, too!) .
please post photos {yours, or anyone else's as long as you give credit where credit is due and possible} of anything that could be interpreted into a quilt block, a mini quilt, or even a full quilt! they can be photos of nature, art, skylines & buildings, home items - anything that intrigues you!
also, feel free to post alongside : which fabrics you would use to translate the look and feel of the photo. all ideas are welcome!
Hope to see you there!!
xo, Heather
