A few days ago Dionne Swift had a pop up sale via Facebook and as I viewed the works on offer I was instantly drawn to one of the pieces. (Well, more than one of them, actually).
The piece is called 'Blue Arc' and is absolutely beautiful. The base fabric has wonderful colours and textures and these set off the energetic stitching inside the arc. The turquoise surrounding the stitching is particularly vibrant and pulses and vibrates as you catch sight of it. I am going to keep it in my workroom where I am sure it will constantly inspire me and remind me my favourite place, St Ives.
I am continuing to work on my 'Horizon' piece but have hit that brick wall bit when nothing seems to be working. I had a play with the pieces this morning but I still can't decide how I'm actually going to put them together. Back to the drawing board, I think.

Julie I am busy catching up on reading blogs - can't wait to see your NEC Festival of Quilts as it develops. I adore the colours of the 'Blue Arc' they are my favorite colours.
Beautiful purchase Julie! Just your color palette tooxx
An inspirational piece, I can see why you just had to have it.
Can quite see why you were inspired enough to make a purchase ... it's a stunning piece ... love xx
That is a lovely piece, Julie, no wonder you fell in love with it.
Good luck with your piece, I'm sure you'll resolve it soon, maybe if you leave it a day or 2 the answer will present itself.
It's gorgeous - those colours are so instantly Cornish to me. Hope it helps you through the creative block.
