Since it is Friday, it's time for Favorite Things Friday over at Quilting in my Pyjamas. As a child, I loved getting brand new boxes of Crayola crayons, the more crayons in the box the better. A box of 96 was a lot more exciting then a box of 24. What might you create with colors like aquamarine, apricot, thistle, sea green, robin's egg blue? If you check out Wikipedia, they have a list of all the current Crayola Crayons (133 of them).
Fabric has become my new box of crayons. I love looking at the colors and thinking about what I might make, which ones would work together. But after last year's major stash acquisition program, this year I'm on a fabric diet. But there are other ways to play with color.
It's a good thing digital photography came along.
That's it for FTF. Hope that all the moms (and mums) have a great Mother's Day this weekend!

I don't think we ever get too old to love a new box of crayons. I love buying them for my little granddaughter so I can play too :)
When I was little it was Derwent colouring pencils. I first got a 24 pack when I was about 11, and I was so happy my head nearly exploded. Then I got a 36 and finally a 72 pack. My cousin was in art school and she had a 120 box and I was sooo so jealous. But I couldn't leave then in the order they were laid out in their little tin, I had to put them in my order that I liked.
Beautiful! Yes, fabric is my 'new crayons', too! My sister used to sew when I was a child, I have always loved fabric, then another sister was an artist, so I have always had a love of color as well. Quilting sure does an excellent job of combining both!
There's something thrilling about seeing dollops of colour isnt there?
Maybe we quilty/arty people are the only ones that get excited about it or even notice but like you I see possibilities every where I see colours.
I love your colourful pictures on this post. They gave me an instant smile and inspired I rushed in to my sewing room to have a play with some fabric!
Have a great FTF Kate!
I have to agree colour is a favourite for me too. I had Derwent colouring pencils when I was younger, in fact I still have a box of 72. I love playing with colours especially my fabrics. I'm forever making piles with different colour combinations.
Love all your colourful pics, very bright and cheerful.
