Second Quilt Challenge Entry

The next challenge entry in the Clothscapes Quilt Challenge from the PaperTwirlies team on Etsy comes from BarbarasBeautys.  The colours and shape perfection on this piece is intricately handled.  I think this would look fantastic framed and on the wall, even in a child's room.

It took careful preparation to make this fantastical chambered nautilus.  Click the link to see it on BarbarasBeautys blog in the making (written May 25, 2012).

First Quilt Challenge Entry

Our first challenge entry for the Clothscapes Quilt inspiration comes from PaperTwirlies team member CurlyQuills.  She was inspired by the squares and the rainbow colours and came up with a graphic design.  I could just see this hanging on the wall in a restaurant!  Couldn't you?

Paper Twirlies Challenge May 2012

The PaperTwirlies team is up for a new inspiration challenge!  With some willing fellow Etsy sellers, there is a host of pictures to keep us inspired for some time.  The first challenge photo is brought to us by Clothscapes (a charming name).

"A dramatic quilt made with cream organic cotton surrounding a graduated square spiral of 84 different shades, beginning with deep purple in the center and moving all the way through the spectrum to end with deep red."


THE RULES:

• Use ANY picture in this listing as your inspiration
• Use ANY aspect of this picture as your inspiration: be it the item, the materials, the setting, the mood, the audience, whatever!
• Your submission does not have to be a new product

Inspired paper quilled creations will be accepted until May 31.  Okay, PaperTwirlies team, let's see how you are inspired!  Check back often to see the entries.

Strawberry Sweet Spring!

It's springtime now!  Time for sunshine, barbeques, and fresh fruits!  Our paper twirlies member, QuillyNilly, was featured in a couple strawberry bearing treasuries with her strawberry shaped paper quilled box.  QuillyNilly's paper quilled trinket boxes are sized to hold a couple rings or a necklace.  They also make for cheery, whimsical shelf decor.  Wouldn't this strawberry pot look so cute on a baker's rack in your kitchen?

Do you write little love notes or reminders to put in your child's lunchbox every day?  Why not store a few in one of these for grab'n'go?  Here are the treasuries so you can see the full strawberry splendours!
