But I've shared these ideas with you so I can't possibly use them as there wouldn't be a surprise! So how do other 'Dozen' members go about selecting an idea?
The group blog of four quiltmakers and textile artists scattered around the world in 4 countries and across three continents. Our aim is to create a small quilt every three months. The theme is chosen by the members in turn. Our website is: www.12bythedozen.weebly.com

So .... structure
My first thought was buildings, those that show their construction like this exhibition building at Chatham Historic Dockyard:
I love the interplay of the beams and though I'm sure this will appear in a quilt one day, it seems too obvious for this challenge. So something a little more obscure perhaps, then I remembered seeing data structure diagrams on our network technicians desk:
This is actually the structure of a website I set up when my daughter got married several years ago. if you want to see the structure of this blog or any other website visit http://www.aharef.info/static/htmlgraph/

Those are nice suggestions, Linda. I guess buildings or constructs are a natural for "structure". Trying to step outside the box is the hard part though!
ReplyDeleteMy natural instincts, having been an architectural draughtswoman, were towards buildings. I also love Jeanne Williamson's work based on the plastic grid that you often find on building sites.
ReplyDeleteThen I am quite tempted to explore using my embroidery unit (as I had originally envisaged using it) and pushing the boundaries between quilting and embroidery...
Sometimes trying to be clever for my own good is a block!
