Friday Finds Creativity




From Pat Sloan......love this.:
From Pat Sloan
   Creativity keeps popping up in a lot of parts of my life right now.....or at least that is the word I keep seeing.   First it popped up as the topic for this week's Bible study.  I was reminded that God fills us with imaginings and the skills to fulfill them.  That was so affirming for me.
    Next I run across this poster from Pat Sloan, a creative guru if there is one.   It's good to have positive affirmations to remind ourselves that our quilting passion is our creative passion.  Embrace it and enjoy.









Free Easter Printables | faberge egg inspired design with small flower details.: From Hub pages.......printable coloring pages for Easter.   I actually saved this to use as a pattern template for applique......lol.  I had visions of making mug rugs with decorated eggs on them.....so maybe next year I will get an earlier start.  But a few printable pages would be fun to tuck into Easter baskets, along with some markers. 









 : From About.com......pattern for a Friendship star block.   There are a couple of different sizes shown with cutting measurements.  Also, there are links to some variations.  Perfect block to put together from leaders/enders!  I really need to make use of my box of triangles.  









WOW! Love the color!:



   Creative setting and use of color in this quilt!  Naturally my eye was attracted by the color and value in this and then I looked closer.  The diagonal setting gives it a fresh updated look for the simple squared boxes.  Of course, this might be a good setting for some orphan blocks, too.  

 From Pinterest.....the link is dead but says it was found on myquiltplace.com.

Update:  Here is the correct link from the maker,  Cathy Tomm

Another fun batch of finds, Debbie. Thanks for the links!
I want to make a mini of the friendship star someday.
Love the coloring pages--I don't color anymore (I was coloring when coloring wasn't cool), but I know someone who will love them.
Oh, such a fresh, pretty quilt!
