Focus on life... week 17.... Well I love COLOUR !
But in spite of that it was a hard challenge... I initially wanted to photograph a corner in the dining room that has a bunch of Canadian paintings but it also reflects 3 windows which I discovered when I tried to photograph it!
So onto the quilt that we bought last fall in Newfoundland
 |
| This has lots of colour... it's actually a king size quilt because the queen size one was pastel blocks and white outlines.... Love it! (The spiders web is top left on an orange block) |
 |
| A typical Newfoundland folk art painting... from the grumpy goat gallery... I think it goes perfectly with the quilt and yes it hangs at the foot of the bed. |
 |
| And yes this is a complete set of Harry Potter books... you don't know how difficult it was to get a matching set... and they don't actually match perfectly the first two were published by raintree alone and are fractionally shorter! & yes they are also in the bedroom! |

| After we got home from NL last fall I had to see if I could capture the quilts in beads.. my husband pointed out that all crazy quilts need to have a spiders web.... |
To see how other people see colour check out Sally's blog
Wow! You've got some wonderful colors- love that quilt and the painting too. Also the bead- I guess I love it all!

What a great series of photos this week. I love the folk art painting!
ReplyDeleteHa, love it, hubby is pretty smart. So much inspiring colour. I have the first Harry Potter book and I confess I never got into it. I have awful suspended disbelieve skills - I don't do well with fantasy. BUT when little one is old enough I think we will read them together
ReplyDeleteFantastic color in your bedroom! And I LOVE that folk art - that is fantastic ... as is that bead!
ReplyDeleteOh, so much COLOR!! I love it. From the amazingly bright quilt (I want!) to the Harry Potter books, your rooms looks like a cozy and fun place to relax.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt you have on your bed. Love the painting you have hanging on the wall near it.
ReplyDeleteThat bedroom would make me so happy!
ReplyDeleteThe painting is adorable and makes me smile.
Way cool - love this quilt!! The colors really are amazing and that painting is fabulous, as is your bead. I had no idea there was a spiders web on the quilt until I read the post,...too fun!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and the painting with your matching bead.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colorful art! I would love to see that quilt in person. Your artful home looks pretty cheery to me!
ReplyDeleteCool idea to make a bead inspired by the quilt. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent captures this week. Love them all - probably I'm most partial towards the HP books, I just love that set (and yes, we have it too - going through volume 4 with my son right now).
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful colors! I love the handmade quilt!!!
ReplyDeletei didn't know that about crazy quilts! you colors are bright, and your post was very entertaining!
ReplyDeleteAll of those photos have amazing color. I love the painting. I could stare at it for hours. And the bead is just lovely and totally reminds me of a quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh, that quilt is delightful! So is the painting!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful and a good choice for showing color. I think it is wonderful that you captured a quilt in a bead. I may have to try that.
ReplyDeleteVery colorful and cheerful photos this week. Love the quilt - there is something about quilts that make us feel at home. The folk art painting is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo colorful and happy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful room to wake up in every morning! Your crazy quilt is such fun. And I'm envious of your Harry Potter books.
ReplyDeleteWe have a complete set too, but the American editions all have boring brown covers. :)
I'm pretty pleased to uncover this web site. I need to to thank you for your time for this fantastic read!! I definitely savored every part of it and I have you book marked to check out new things in your site.

I am soooo far behind, but I love this post! Your quilt is lovely, and that painting from Newfoundland is, as you said, so typical. It also reminds me of the hand-hooked rugs they do. In answer to your question on my blog, I'm originally from the interior of BC (Penticton area~18 yrs)then moved to Calgary AB (30 yrs), which I hated. The weather in AB is the worst in Canada I think. Hated it.
