When 3 AM Strikes Again



This past week has found me in a couple of strange mental places that I wasn't expecting to be.  I have been over joyed with some of the ideas that have been beating on my brain at 3 am, and drug through a chaotic minefield of armature mistakes.  Some times I think  a person needs to be humbled by those "oh crap!" moments to help reorient themselves and move forward with confidence.  Anyhow I have been doing just that and moving forward, mostly with a simple finish that has been coming down the line for a while.  A cool disappearing nine patch.






I'm linking up with all the talent over at The Needle and Thread Network.

  2. I love the look of your disappearing nine patch. And the varigated thread that you chose, looks fabulous on it. By the look of that last photo, you may need to make a second one!

    1. I really liked how much freedom using the black gave me. It felt very random and lining up perfect seams didn't matter because it was all a big mess anyhow!

  8. Sam, Its a terrific disappearing 9 patch- I love the black combined with the batiks. I hope that the reno with the studio goes well. It sounds like the studio will be a great place to create.
    I have come to visit from the Canadian blog a thon- It has been a fun journey and has introduced me to some fun quilters and their blogs.
    Regards from Edmonton,

  9. What a great idea, using the black in that way! I love using brights with black fabrics, and I love the split 9-patch! Super combination!
