Deb - Paint Box

I love exploring all these themes on Google. This time I found a drawing of a paint box and a photo of lots of different paint brushes. I combined the two and came up with my paint box. I chose the background fabric and as I was cutting it out looked at the selvedge - it comes from a range called 'paintbox'! I also had a fun fabric in my stash for the back!

COLOURS BY PAM FOR PAM

When I first chose COLORS  I didn't have a clue what to do. Then I was watching "Better Homes and Gardens" and saw the person who does 'arty' stuff use a piece of canvas, tape and paint [two colos only] and made something similar to my first attempt.

I so enjoyed what I was doing that I, as you can see, have made three small quilts in different styles.

I am hoping to share my ideas with the many people I teach.

I am just loving seeing all the quilts appear on the blog.

The postie has become one of my favoutie people at the moment too!

Bring on the next challenge Deb.

Computer Colours by Anna

I  find it amazing that all the colours we make and see are derived from 3 colours only, yellow,magenta and cyan. We also need the black and white so I have added those too.
Your quilts are looking lovely Pam and will make a great display.
I too am enjoying my new Bernina 710 and yours is the first quilt to be made on it!!!
Cheers

Colour My World from Lynn

My first thought was "I Can Sing a Rainbow", but rainbows are hard to create. When I found these fabrics in my stash, I just had to do "Colour My World". I knew that the map fabric would be useful one day.
Machine appliqued.

"Flying colours" stitched by Margie for Pam

Simply because Pam always excels! Machine appliquéd and hand quilted.

I also made a card. And I initially thought  I'd piece a selection of fabrics from across the colour spectrum - makes a pretty picture, so I though I'd share it with you.

Colours - stitched by Mary for Pam

Hi Pam
Colours - oh I thought this will be so colourful but a bit disappointed in the impact of my wee quilt. 

However, it showcases some of the stitches from "our" new Bernina 710 that we both bought within a week of each other,  and I made a the same quilt for myself as well to hang beside the machine for reference.  So I will think of you when I look at it.
Maybe it would have been better on black.   Black and white are colours too aren't they?
Enjoy.

Emerald - Kerry

Pantone name emerald the colour of 2013

Pam I did enjoy thinking about this theme . I hope you enjoy the latest little quilt and my gem. It was made using the Junior Gem tool.
