SERENDIPITY

My word for 2018 after much consideration is serendipity... I need more aha! moments in my life from happy accidents.  That is what Serendipity means to me.  The dictionary definition is "the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way."  and that suits me fine this year.  Hopefully that will lead to more flexibility (I need that physically as well as emotionally and intellectually)... and being open to more possibilities.

In the meantime, I have been working on several things...

Here is my Bonnie Hunter mystery top for 2017.  I opted to experiment with my own colors rather than hers, which worked out well for me.  Purple, green and black are my happy colors.  Maybe the secondary pattern is a little less obvious in mine but it's there..

 

Here is a link to Bonnie Hunter's blog showing more examples of ORL.

And I made yet another cat quilt, (who knew, right?).  I call this one 'Crazy Cats Elegante'.  Had a lot of fun picking out the buttons for the eyes!

And last but not least... my current work in progress is a shaded colorblock quilt.   I am currently agonizing over the color progression... top half of the quilt is sewn, but trying to figure out if the bottom half should start with blue and progress back to violet, or repeat the violet to blue again in the same order.  Lots to consider... Maybe I will try them both out on the design wall and see what happens.
