Heather's book is about "exploration", and her previous entry depicts her exploration of shapes and colors within a grid on the page. Keeping with my own goal of learning something new with each sketch, and being inspired by her own exploration I decided to explore color palettes in ColourLovers. I know there are reasons why some colors go together and some don't - but the problem is that I don't know what those reasons are. So instead of learning about colors, I just headed over to ColourLovers and browsed for palates that were put together by other people. I then applied them to my YouTube channel avatar to see what I liked best. Pages on my mac allowed me to import the palate then quickly swap out colors using the color inspector. I think I like the muted grey one the best. Thanks, Heather for the inspiration.

Heidi exploring in Heather's book
I was so happy for Heather's theme of "Exploration". I'm really into trying to do something of my own design in quilting. Quilting usually has lots of formula and instructions, but I just love freestyle, texture, design. Anyway, I used muslin as a base to explore going crazy with my stitching. Then I topstitched with black. I wasn't sure when I should stop, and maybe I shouldn't have.... As I was sewing the black topstitching, I felt a little bit like I was playing "pong", that very first video game we played on our TV! Are you all old enough to remember that?
