Although these two mini scrap quilts, (which I just listed in my shop today) aren't proof positive,
as they are part of the small batch of quilts I stitched up several weeks ago, right before my creative dry spell hit, (so technically they don't count)...
I think I'm beginning to slowly move out of my creative funk and move on to brighter days.
Hoping to have some brand new work to share sometime next week. (That is if the house doesn't blow away... the wind here is blowing so hard I'm starting to feel like Dorothy in Kansas, and I swear I just saw a cow fly by.)
Have a great weekend everyone!

Beautiful! The colors and quilting are absolutely gorgeous. Glad to see you're back to work!
Beautiful-- as always! I love the slightly curved stitching. You have a such a way of bringing subtle color and pattern to vibrant life!
Welcome back!
I have a soccer goal in my backyard.. Does not belong to us!!!
Hope the roof stays on!
Say goodbye to the winter funk.....Spring can NOT be far off!
One thing for sure your work always lifts my spirits and gets my creative juices going!
Love these beautiful creations V.!
Happy sewing, think Spring and all those lovely greens we are going to soon see.
I feel like the Easter Bunny just landed with these quilts, colors are so happy. Wonderful work as always Victoria.
If I see a cow fly by I will look out for you. xox Corrine
Oh, and I just sent you an email saying I had not seen any news here. I should have checked before. Anyway, scraps or not scraps, these quilts are beautiful. They count!
Ah - the pleasure of seeing more pieces from Victoria. Methinks the wind has blown inspiration your way. Hang on and keep going, girl. Beautiful beautiful
Beautiful quilts, I had to stop for a closer look and enjoy them!
Gorgeous! It's pretty windy here too!
So, so beautiful - I just want to touch them!!! Don't blow away, hon!
Flying cows are not good! Put rocks in your pockets when you go outside to anchor yourself down. As always, lovely work.
The quilting on these is awesome! Really works with the quilts.
Your work is beautiful as always. I love your quilting.
I know what you mean about the wind, and my house is surrounded by trees!
Spring is just around the corner! Spectacular quilting!
Beautiful. I hope your funk ends soon... annoying aren't they?
OMG, Victoria - that first quilt made my heart leap! So very beautiful...
Gorgeous, rich color combinations!
Wow, I just love these jewel tones! Gorgeous Finish!! Stay warm and just make sure the cow has landed safely.
Beautiful! I'm sure that when spring arrives the creative juices will flow in earnest. ♥
Love these colours and amazing quilts
I'm so inspired by all the quilts I've seen on your blog. I'm glad your dry spell is ending ~ I've missed your posts.
Both these quilts are wonderful!
Thanks so much for sharing.
As usual you are an inspiration even if you feel you are in a funk. I do love the mini scrap quilts.
I do think that winter has something to do with creative funks. Even though I am spending more time in my studio I am not producing anything. I even resorted to ironing my husbands dress shirts the other day to avoid the sewing machine. :-) Have a great weekend.
oh dear... wind makes my kids really act funny...
love the quilt!
I just did a class with Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably last week. I too was feeling rather uninspired prior to going. Although I learned only a little, being surrounded by other makers, sharing my same passion texiles did the trick! Maybe you need to get out of that wind and find some sun and some other sewers. Your work still look gorgeous to me.
Love your quilts!!!
Love the colors on these, very wintery with that little hint of warmth coming soon.
You saw a cow flying by? Wow you have all the luck! I would really like to see a photo though :)
Love these quilts!
The rust and the violet together in this piece are sumptuous! Glad to hear you're gaining some momentum!
What tut pe of thread did you quilt with? It looks heavier than normal thread, but I love the way it pops.

I used a 12 wt thread. (Sulky Blendables)
Can you tell me what color of the Sulky blendables that you used on this quilts? I am trying to find the 12 wt and am having trouble trying to figure out which one this is.
Oh my, I use all different colors and don't remember the specifics to the ones in this old post as they were made 10 years ago now! The Sulky Blendables, (at least to my knowledge) only come in two sizes, 12 wt and 30 wt. (Again, I use the 12 wt) and they come in a wide selection of colors. Most quilt shops and many craft stores, (such as JoAnne Fabrics if you are in the US) generally carry a selection of them. Hope that helps and best wishes.
