personal trend tracking via flickr faves

garlands

i detected the other day while going through my flickr faves, a little obsession with garlands and things garland-y. clicking on the pic above will take you to my photostream where you can find the links to the good folks behind these beauties.

and here's the one i made with a bit of bamboo yarn and some leftover squares from my tanya whelan dolce quilt (which reminds me, i should be working on the binding for that).


oh, and i also discovered that i have a thing about thread:

a thing about thread

the last four pics in the mosaic above are my own, so i won't post them separately. have you looked at your flickr faves lately? i'll betcha anything there's a theme (or themes). one more from me, plain spoken quilts:

quilts and fabrics in solids

  3. I feel another-"are you going to make these and sell on Etsy?" :)
    A garland would look so pretty across ny fire place.

    If you do, please e-mail me!!

    Best

  7. What an interesting idea. I just checked my flickr faves too, and they're mostly trees, squares and wavy lines.

  10. What a great idea -- too often, we're too myopic to see trends in our lives and our preferences. This is a great way to step back and see the big picture (or lots of little ones).

comments are the new black. so be trendy and leave one.

what is, however, not trendy, is if your comment contains an ad or a link to a spam website. those, like white shoes after labor day, will be deleted.
