spring board!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

I am so honored to be a part of the Spring Board Creative Collaboration hosted by Andrea from Knitty Bitties! I’m up first and I’m super happy about that so I won’t spend the rest of the week getting intimidated by everyone else’s amazing projects!

Have you heard about the Spring Board? Andrea enlisted a few creative types to create a one of a kind project to inspire others to jump into spring. With the help of the Fabric Shoppe, we were each provided with the following supplies:

Fat Quarters {2}
Ric-Rac
Square of Un-Bleached Cotton
Doily

I seriously RACKED my brain trying to think of what to make. I don’t get many opportunities to be creative, believe it or not. So much of my time is spent creating for others in the way of filling orders that I felt completely out of my element once I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted! If you know me, I can’t ever get to far away from fabric flowers or bright colors, so you might not be surprised by what i ended up with.

So again, I started with 2 fat quarters, ric rac, a doily, and a square of unbleached fabric. I also used some scrap fabric, a styrofoam wreath, and some embroidery floss that i had on hand, and here’s what i came up with:

As you can see, I used the fabric provided for several of the flowers and of course the leaves. I used other fabrics to add in other pops of color. The styrofoam wreath I covered in off white fabric and turned the ric rac, doily, and unbleached cotton fabric into a bunting with “joy” embroidered on it. I really love it. Like REALLY love it.

But, I’m giving it away!

Break my heart, I’m ready to ship it off to one of you lucky readers!

To enter, leave me a comment letting me know what is inspiring you this spring!

Be sure to tune into the Spring Board all week long! Can’t wait to see what everyone else came up with. Tomorrow, Heather from Life Made Lovely is up to bat. Thanks to Andrea for the opportunity to step outside of the box!

    What a beautiful wreath! Talk about inspiring! Hmmm…things that are inspiring me this spring: Scrapbook paper (I’ve never used it much before), the pretty red and yellow tulips blooming across the street from me, a fresh coat of paint in my house, and my fabric collection calling out to be made into new pillows for our living room. Have a great week!

It has mixed in with the darker green moss growing up from the ground – the colors are so beautiful together…and spring is coming…I just know it…it just takes a little longer to arrive in the Northwest so spring colors help! Love the wreath! xo, Nan

    Right now?
    THIS WREATH IS INSPIRING ME!!

    –I’ve been reading a lot of e.e. cummings lately. And his beautifully fragmented words make me think happy thoughts of lemonade, and love and mint leaves tucked in ice tea. I am inspired to plant herbs in my garden, and make sorbet, and paint things whimsical shades of peachy-pink.

    S.S.

I am feeling amazingly blessed by the work God is doing in me, my marriage and my family right now! He is drawing us closer to him and eachother through some rather difficult times. This verse says it all… “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 I’m so thankful for that truth!

    This spring, I’m inspired by the green that is taking over my little part of the world. Although we don’t typically get snow, we do get the winter doldrums in the form of dead, brown grass. Today, I’m inspired simply by grass and the gorgeous green that it is…

Living in a city, you don’t get a chance to smell most “spring smells”, but now that we have a back yard I’m intoxicated by the fresh earth, wet grass and freshly sprouted plant aromas.

    That wreath is so inspiring me! But I am also being inspired every morning by the birds chirping outside my window with the rising sun. Plus the two little swallows who have returned to their nest on our front porch for another season of baby birdie making! ;) We didn’t knock it down last year because it inspires my little girlies every year! The swallows just came back on sunday and my lit’l birds are G.I.D.D.Y!!! xo

    Tahnie says:

    Okay that wreath is the cutest ever.

    My daughter is inspiring me this spring. Perhaps it is a cliche but I’m basking in her development these days; she’s on the cusp of walking and taking and it is such a precious stage to witness. I’m so lucky to be her momma!

    You are totally inspiring me with this one baby! It’s so happy, and wonderful, and needs to be on my door. I think spring and bright beautiful colors and happy poetry are floating my boat right now. All baby related, of course. ;-)

    What a FANTASTIC wreath… I love that you added your signature roses to it… Bright beautiful colors are inspiring me this spring… So much so it’s making me want to SPRING CLEAN and re paint walls… Move over neutral colors here comes some bright sunshine… haha

    Aw, it is so lovely. I’m amazed at how different it looks from what I would have made with that bundle–a bag. I love the splashes of color behind those flowers. Yah! I hope it doesn’t really break your heart to send it away. ;)

    This spring I am inspired by the lovely assortment of colors I see when I look out my window. I love the pale yellows and whites, the springy and rich greens, the grey bark colors, and the splashes of wine-red. They make me want to create (knit? paint? sew? decorate?) in those colors.

    Jenn says:

    Loving the wreath!! I am being inspired this Spring by the fresh aspect of things: fresh starts, the smell of fresh air…. I have got some creative things planned for my little house, starting with some new paint!!

    Ruth says:

    That is just beautiful, I already know where it will live if it comes to me.
    I’m being inspired by the intense green that has appeared almost overnight, wrapping the entire neighborhood in it’s glow of optimism. All my WIP seem to be the wrong color for me now, and I can’t wait and get them finished in order to start something bright and fun. I think some Sugar Flower might be coming for a playdate soon.

    hi, I just had to step in and say how pretty your wreath is and how much I am enjoying seeing what other board members did with the stack. It was a fun idea that Andrea had and I am glad I got to discover new treasure trove blogs through her. I guess I can’t be in the giveaway, but I wish I could! :-)
