I take photos every day.
Photos of the mundane, photos of color, photos of the unusual. Each photo stimulates inspiration and anticipation.
I’m offering a challenge, I would like one person to choose one of these photos and I will design a quilt from it. I will share the technique and tactics as I go. I just clicked randomly from my photo album to choose the photos and I will choose the winner randomly too. Eek and some of these will be hard to do.
That’s why it’s a Challenge. !!!!!
You have a great eye for color and design I really enjoy seeing your work. It’s very hard to choose one of these photos,they are all fabulous. My pick would be the firs yellow and orange flower. Hope to see you in Shipshewana this year.

Gosh, Pam, what an amazing idea! I can’t wait
to see what you eventually complete.
Your photographs are all compelling; you obviously have a great talent for this.
I love many of them but would love to see a quilt made of the hydrangea picture.

Hello Pam. This is a tough choice as all the photos are wonderful. I will go with the fountain (I think that’s what it is) with the blue wall with plants cascading down.

I choose the wall fountain. Maybe because it’s shows its age, has so many different textures going on, the bit of reflection of the pool? Just something about it.
Which ever photo is chosen, your step by step process will be a treat for us all.

Hi Pam, difficult to choose ONE image – I find them all quite stimulating. I narrowed it down to just two (the chair on the blue floor & the rusty wire). And my winner is . . . . the chair, third from the left of your post. I wonder which picture will be the choice of others.

I like the three bowls and also the turquoise sun shape against the red wall.

The pile of fabric is upside down. The yellow is the horizon as the sun has just sunk below the edge. Below, the quiet green is the sand and the blue, the sea. A small surf on the close reef is shown by the lighter green, with the pale blue the foam of the breaking waves. The sky (above the yellow) gives the joy of the past day in the oranges with violet infinity beyond. LOVE YOUR STACK! Regards. Susan.

I like the photo with the bowls. I think it will be interesting to see how to handle the interpretation of the curves vs the more linear lines we always see. Looking forward to the process no matter what is chosen. It will be great to learn from such a skilled and talented person/quilter…

Pam, I vote for the pic with the most shadows. After your Houston class I am working on an egret with a fish in his shadow. So, as you conquer the issue of shadow and color and texture in your challenge, I may figure out the details on my challenge (which includes dyeing cheesecloth, voile and cotton cord).
