Sky Color by Jerri P

Orange skies may be a sign that the skies are energized by the sun and weather.  It can also make us feel inspired and  energized just like this challenge. Orange skies was the inspiration for my quilted journal cover.

Wonder by Jo K

The "Sky" prompt took me far back to my childhood where, one wintry evening I took a walk in the neighborhood (right past my crush's house!). All of sudden, the sky was filled with dancing lights of so many different colors. I was awestruck but had no idea what was happening (was it a sign from the Universe about my crush?). I watched for what seemed like hours until they started to fade. Once home, I learned that I had seen the Northern Lights for the first (and, so far, only) time in my life. That evening is one of my very best childhood memories and I am grateful for the opportunity to remember it. 

I used a variety of materials and techniques, many from a long-ago workshop with Laura Wasilowski. Fusable fabrics, some newer fabrics, Peltex, and batting were mixed with fussy cutting, fusing, piecing, hand sewing, and FMQ. I typically like to have a pattern and a kit so I'm way out of my comfort zone but am having a great time!

SKY COLORS

Jenny Harris, Wisconsin 

Title:  Look Out the Window

My sky colors project was inspired by my husband. When the sunset is particularly beautiful or unique he will text me and tell me to look out the window at the sunset so I won't miss it.

My favorite sunsets are the rich reds, deep pinks and purples especially over mountains.  My quilt depicts some of my favorite sights to see out of a window: beautiful sunset colors over mountains, wildlife and trees.

It measures 32" x 28", it is sewn blocks with applique mountains, trees and wildlife and free motion machine quilted.

* On a side note, if anyone can tell me how to get the quilt basting spray stains out of the brown "window frame" fabric I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Green Flash by Nancy W

 I finished!! It's 1 am, but I got it done! Story below!

Have you ever seen the green flash? When my husband and I first started dating, we lived in San Diego and had the typical "loves walks on the beach" as a date.  Our first walk on the beach together was a sunset stroll on Moonlight Beach and he said he saw the green flash! Only, he wasn't looking at the sun! He was staring into my eyes. That is when he learned I have chameleon eyes and green is one of the colors they can be.  That was almost 14 yrs ago

Sunrise, Sunset by Joyce

 Had no idea what to do… rummaged among my scraps to pick fun colors reminiscent of sunrise or sunset.  Couldn’t decide which, so…….

Here’s my submission, a dual mug rug
  “Sunrise, Sunset: with thanks to Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof”

The cool part was doing the inset half circle from a flower that looked like sun rays - it was a new technique for me!!!

Sky Color by Adrienne F

Here is my finished quilt depicting the sky I saw on my walk in the neighborhood near sundown on a cloudy day. I'm not sure how it got to be the shape it became. It had something to do with the expanse of sky I see here. I spent so many years in NYC where one can see slips and bits of the sky between the tall buildings. 

To see the expanse of sky here is a real treat. I tried to capture the herringbone clouds that formed in waves, the moon rise and the haze surrounding the obscured sunshine.

Sky Color by Paula H

 The sun dress was given to me years ago, which I never wore.

The skirt I just bought at a thrift store a couple weeks ago.

Then I heard about your challenges for the first time after 2024 #1 was over.

So I jumped right in with my clothes and this is what came out.

Starry Sky Pincushion by Teri D

This is my Starry Sky Pincushion.

I found a couple of star quilt designs online. I made a final decision on the Starry Sky pattern because it would be easy to get it finished in a week. 

I used left over scraps from a quilt that I made in an online class with Ricky Tims.
