Naked lips are tragic. They need moisture. And maybe a little color now and then.
To my way of thinking,
the tragic, naked lips are kind of like fabric scraps.
They just need some lovin'.
They need just a little attention.
And they will bloom.
Bloom into something wonderful.
Scraps of fabrics for this Farmer's Wife Sampler?
Yep, I have them collected!
Scraps of reproduction fabrics that are from the 1890's through the 1920's.
Maybe not enough scraps of the dark colors, so I probably will have to add a few more fat quarters.
Like adding a dark colored lip balm. Very soothing, and the color just pops!
And I love a couple of the new/old cheddars, so definately some of those scraps will have to be added. More fabric balm needed!!!
Do I have scraps of miniscule proportions?Yep, those also.
Like the scraps in this quilt called Oh My Gosh, by Sue Garman. The irish chain nine-patch blocks in this pattern finish at one and one half inches. Yes, I said 1 and 1/2 inches. Each.
That is like those little lip sticks that used to be offered as samples from the make-up companies. Really too little to use in most instances, but you kept them anyway, just in case you might need just the right color without buying the full-size product.
Maybe you will call me crazy, but I'm thinking that the Oh My Gosh quilt is calling my name. I have the pattern in my studio. I picked it up at a shop on the bus trip on the way to the International Quilt Festival, held in Chicago. And I think that was two years ago.
This one may be like the lip color that was just a little trendy,
but you had to have it before it was gone!
Both of these projects will use some of my scraps.

Scraps that are under-rated....
After a little pondering,
maybe it's the fabric scraps that are like the tragic, naked lips,
not the other way around.
