For the Love of Blue!


I like to use a lot of different colors in my
house and blue is one of my favorites.
So I have dedicated a blog to
this lovely color.

The photo above is a close up of one of my favorite appliqued quilts.
I love appliqued quilts, especially when they have a lot of extra embroidery 
on them.  
I'm always on the lookout for beautiful quilts!!
They are really hard to find in Alaska!


So I have to make them!
This is a photo of a miniature blue and white quilt that I made
several years ago for my Mother. 



A small blue embellishment!
This tiny little silk rose is 
snug tight around one of my chenille cat pillows.
Super sweet.


A very peaceful blue and white coverlet. 

That's the great thing about blue
it's a very
soothing color!



A small blue hand towel that has 
cute embroidered embellishments on its edge.



A very quick watercolor and ink sketch I made of some 
beautiful little Gentian bell flowers.



Blue Cameos...
so romantic.




Blue embellishments on white furniture...



And the  most beautiful enamelware tea kettle with
a very simple, but elegant aqua blue cake.


I just love soft blue colors...don't you?

Hope you all have a great week!

:o)
