does this mean my grubby orange last year flip flops are “in” now?
More like a Dutch plot to unload yards and yards of orange awning material...
Sorry it will sit on the shelf. My colors are blue, pink, blue-reds, shades of purple. Orange is not a flattering color on most people.
Orange is my favorite color...love it and most of the warm colors and of course "black".
I think that it is just a matter of skin tones. (warm or cool)
Right you are. I have very pale skin, blue gray eyes, white hair. I once did the Color Me Beautiful testing, I’m a Summer, and warm tones just wash what little color I have out. I can wear winter white but not white. If the red is of an orange cast, I can’t wear it, but a blue cast and it is great on me. I can wear the cool shades of green like lime but not the warmer tones. The only easy way for me to wear black is as a jacket with a cool toned blouse or shell. Blue-reds, purple and deep or hot pink are my favorite colors.
I love color, I’m a quilter! A quilt-a-holic in fact.
Happy quilting, I'll bet they are beautiful. I used to do a lot of sewing,but never tried quilting.
Oh, girl you don’t know what you are missing! I sewed for my boys when they were small, but gave it up when they started school and didn’t want home made’s any more. Now I sew for my youngest granddaughter 8 who is skinny as a rail and 5 yr old great grand.
All you need are a few simple block patterns, 4 patch or 9 patch, start small with place mats, move to crib size, then you have mastered the basics. A few basic supplies, cutting mat, Martelli http://www.martellicatalog.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=P1 rotary cutter (it’s the best) they sell a complete mat and cutter system I wish I could afford. Some rulers, I like the one with the lip on it it helps to steady it when cutting. I use to do all fussy cutting, but now I do more rotary cutting. A quarter inch foot for your sewing machine and a walking foot if it’s not already built in. A No Slip hoop 14-16 inches http://www.nosliphoops.com/ The net http://www.quilterscache.com/ can provide a ton of free patterns, chose simple ones to start with, and go from there. It’s addictive! I buy all my rulers and mats when Hobby Lobby or Hancocks have 40% off coupons or good sales on other wise they are expensive.
Unless it is small as in place mat size, I hand quilt my projects. More satisfaction for me. And portable.
