When you come across something wonderful...
you just have to share it..ok, "I" have to share it..
..I have known about
this for awhile and was thinking what a wonderful
tool this Jessica has come up with.....
DESIGN SEEDS is her company...
Color palettes for those of us who quilt...
( she designs for many companies but I am thinking
as a necessary tool for us..this is perfect)
IMAGINE this...YOU will never ever be stuck
with what to match...
Think of the possibilities...?
I do every day...
How many times have you dished up some berries
and thought "mmmmm a quilt in these colors"
see a common thread..?
I chose these because they spell sweetness...
yes?
Imagine this palette, fresh isn't it?
Jessica has 2 books filled with all of these...
and she gives you permission to post as
long as you share where they came from...
And you know me about sharing..
I am all over it.....
YOU are only good as what you share..you know
all the secrets that some don't share...
WELLLLLLLL , I am sew into sharing it all...
YOU are only good as what you share..you know
all the secrets that some don't share...
WELLLLLLLL , I am sew into sharing it all...
This will most certainly be my next quilt...
I am just want to eat this all up...
Do you think maybe this collection
could have been put together with these colors in mind?
( this is a soon to be giveaway at you know where?)
See a theme here...I love fruit....love the colors
that speak to me about freshness....
I love blues it seems and yet I have very little
blues in my stash..mmmmmm
will have to rectify that...
Never liked purple hues..but lately..mmmmmm
I just want to lick this..
I just want to lick this..
Ok, reds...can you just feel your lips puckering
for these succulent colors..?
And many may know this but I am not a sweet
lover...but licorice and lemons...
I just melt..these colors bring me joy...
Go and check the pages and pages Jessica
has on her site...take a peak at her book...
YOU may never ever be stuck again for
color choices for your quilt....
And thank her for sharing sew much part of
her colors of life...

Those colour combos are great! Thanks for sharing!
Yum! What a great tool for choosing a quilting palette. Thanks for sharing this.
I have heard a lot about design seeds but haven't looked into it much. I will have to go surf around :)
HOLY COW! I just went to visit Jessica at Design Seeds - what an incredible site and her book is to die for!! Imagine how beautiful that would be on a coffee table! OMGosh - thank you Madamme for highlighting this incredible artist - wow-wee!!
I found this yesterday, and spent nearly the entire day playing with color.. gosh it was so fun!!
I visited Design Seeds and OMG, how awesome. I LOVE the yellow front door she featured in her book. What a wonderful pop of color! Thanks for sharing.
Eye candy DELUXE!!!
I am terrible when it comes to combining colors unless it's the very basics. Thanks for sharing this great site.
Thank you for sharing! *bliss*
Thank you so much! This is inspiring! I'm off to check out her site.
These are seeds of delight - wonderful design tool. Judy C in NC
You are right, those colors are just to die for....and get hungry for.
This is wonderful! I always have trouble with color combo's this is a great tool. Added this to my favorites. Thanks for sharing!
Wow. I could not find one combo that I didn't like. Awesome. I am color challenged, so this is ideal. Thank you for sharing.
She has a great eye. Since I am at this stage in my sewing from a long career of sewing and embroidering. I keep a DMC embroidery Floss chart and a Machine Embroidery thread chart handy for my color choices. I use the kind of chart that has the actual thread on the cardboard.
