Purple Passion

- the theme for August's Four-In-Art reveal.

I don't shy away from purple...

this is one of my calendar minis I made from some 

polaroid blocks back in 2014.

 My passion, of course is patchwork so that was 

where I started.

See that green and red heart up there?

While doing a clean up at the time,

 I came across an old patchwork book (above) and 

the inside cover caught my eye!

So I sketched, planned and raided my stash of 

purple fabrics!

I have included all the fabrics and quilt 

blocks

I'm passionate about!

Bear's Paw and Dresden Plate,

Tula Pink and spots.

I played around with its placement on the hombre 

background...

I love how the basic block turned out,

in the shape of a heart,

and tentatively began quilting it.

I purchased some silk thread at 

the Quilt and Craft Fair, 

hoping things would go to plan!

(In fact, I rarely have a plan.)

I decided it needed some hand quilting...

Isn't everything better with hand quilting?

So now it's finished!

I do feel passionate about it!

Thanks for a great theme, Betty!
