"Inspiration Friday"
I love the color blue.
my mom loves the color blue...
true blue, prussian blue. viridian, carolina blue, oxford, denim ~
cyan, violet-blue, periwinkle....
cerulean, indigo & robins' egg.
and let's not forget sapphire blue, cobalt blue, & cornflower.
I have so many blue threads, blue paints & blue fabrics
and I'm shamelessly always on the hunt for more!
my keeping room here in the old farmhouse has cabinets, boxes and baskets
all in different hues of blue.
it can be a happy color, like sky blue...
a quiet color like powder blue ~ or an energizing color,
like turquoise...
here are photos that I collected from Pinterest
{these are not my photos and have not personally made
any of the projects/needlework you see in them}
You can go to Pinterest.com and simply type in a search for
"Blue Needlework"
to see many many more delicious photos...

I love the Blues! Those are incredibly wonderful works you've chose to share with us. The one that you have labeled "contemporary needlework, unknown source, reminds me of Spirit Cloth's work…

lovely, blue fan also, love the quote, timely for me, excited to hear your making new you tube videos- want to learn to needle punch but am left handed
Hi Lori. I have to tell you how SPECIAL this post and last week's is. The time and effort and energy you put into sharing this with us is AMAZING. I love your designs and work my fingers to make them mine but this is such an extra gift to all of us. I'm so lucky that I have found a number of special blogs and through them "met" needleworker friends who inspire me and make me so happy. THANK YOU!!!
WOW. Beautiful. I think that contemporary embroidery is very interesting. Really like the "Love Bluebird" piece.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Oh Lori . The blue needlework pictures are so uplifting and thank you for sharing.
