Nuanced Neon

A Neon Mosaic Contest

@ Stitched In Color

with Mad About Patchwork!

This is perhaps the easiest mosaic I have had the pleasure of putting together yet!

Let me just say right from the get go, I love neon colors and in spite of Rachel's very convincing prose and gorgeous photos, Nuanced Neon is an oxymoron to me!

Some Like It Hot!

I very eagerly went through the catalog of beautiful fabrics by color, and quickly scrolled through, until I found the couple in each group that by temperature alone made my eyes neon happy! Shot cottons, Sun Prints and Natural History shimmered among the others! Then the geometry print from Ex Libris played so great with all of them and just had to be included!

As for "nuanced", I thought, the only other element that might brighten my choices was a white, and when I found the Playground fabric, with scattered brights, I knew it was the icing on this bright and happy cake!

If you would like to join in the fun, this contest is open through May 20th, and  2 winners will receive a fat quarter bundle of their winning mosaic!

Oooh, I so hope I win this one!!!

Ice Parfait Mosaic Contest

I admit it, I am a sucker for these things....perusing all kinds of fabrics, while daydreaming in color...then sharing in mosaic form, in all it's obtuse glory :)

So this time, the contest, Ice Parfait, is happening at Stitched In Color, in collaboration with Cuts of Cotton fabric shop!

For me, winter deliciousness is all about the morning sky. With predawn temps averaging well below zero, icy almost always brings a parfait of color, just before the sun rises....

today, for example :)

"Icy Dawn Mosaic"

But winter is all day long, isn't it? And since we are allowed two mosaics, the brilliance of an icy midday brings it's own colorful daydreams :)
