Blowing in the wind...
We've had some really windy days recently here in the Blue Mountains.
I was watching some washed fabrics blowing in the wind
and it made me wonder what it would be like to see a quilt dance in the air.
Wild Thing was the nominated lucky quilt and it certainly rose to the occasion
It kicked up it's heels up in a merry blue sky jig
Who knows, this chunky zebra quilt might have been pretending to be a flag proudly showing it's colours
or perhaps a bird flapping it's wings
and soaring on the breeze.
I watched as it billowed like a pirate ship's sails journeying on the high seas.
And then it became a rainbow coloured cloud..
Was I getting carried away with my imagination?
Maybe it was simply a happy quilt catching the wind and laughing on a breeze.
In a shady corner of the garden the flamingos didn't even notice the quilt and wind shenanigans.
They were too busy being pleased about the fabulous gift I received from Cathy at Studio 28.
Thanks so much Cathy, your parcel made my day.

Wow Rachael! A good day for drying quilts.
ReplyDeleteLove the flamingo fabric too.
What gorgeous pics!!!
ReplyDeleteJust love the way your mind works. Who else would have flown a quilt?
ReplyDeleteI always love your photos! You have truly captured the movement of your quilt dancing in that wonderful sequence of photos. And that blue sky! What a beautiful country we live in!
ReplyDeleteZebra print action shots! Fabulous idea. I'm sure they had a lot of fun being turned loose for a bit.
ReplyDeleteGreat post with neat photos!
ReplyDeleteWild Thing in the wind is beautiful, though makes me a little dizzy. :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos - such a gorgeous blue sky. It is blowing an absolute gale here in the East of England as I write, .... but the sky is drab and grey! Gorgeous quilt - very unusual! xCathy
ReplyDeleteFun post! I can feel the wind and enjoy your wonderful Wild Thing doing its happy dance. Your bold combinations in this quilt are really delightful.
ReplyDeleteSmiles in Charlotte! thank you:)
ReplyDeleteLovely post on a lovely quilt, Rachel...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI love seeing fabrics and quilt fluttering in the breeze...although yours are doing a lot more flying and lot less fluttering!
ReplyDeleteIts been raining here - again!
Brilliant photos. Love those flamingos
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I'd love to repeat the exercise here - we have the wind, but the torrential rain that's coming with it might make for a less fun quilt experience!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such a bright and pretty post. Just what I needed today while I lay in bed.
ReplyDeletePerfect quilt for your demonstration.:)
ReplyDeleteQuilts on the line....chickens in the pen....you're becoming an Aussie Ranch Wife. Your post reminds me of 2 60's songs...."The answer my friend is blowing in the wind "by Peter Paul and Mary and "Wild thing, you make my heart sing, you make everything groovy" LOL I' must still be 60's hopping in my mind.
ReplyDeleteLovely dancing quilts!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is gorgeous in the sunshine! Gorgeous anytime, actually!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, dancing fabric is the best!
ReplyDeleteClearly no chemicals needed...just fabric and a washing line! It would make me happy too. I used to stare at all the cloth nappies on the line...it was so calming!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics Rachael, and a very lucky quilt to dance on the wind.
ReplyDeleteYour fabrics and quilt look so fun blowin' in the breezes.
ReplyDeleteI love love your animal print quilt!
The flamingos are a hoot - :)
thanks for the fun post
You have the best eye for the unusual things. Love your "wash day".
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing visual experience! Glorious!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lovely day playing with quilt and camera. What a lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! It certainly has been windy of late. I also love when curtains billow in the breeze too.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos, Rachael! It was the perfect quilt for the day. :)
ReplyDeleteYour Wild Thing quilt is my favorite ever, I adore it! Sure looks great in motion as well. Please be safe, I'm praying for your area and all affected by the fires.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving me a comment. Your kind words encourage me to keep sharing my work and stories.
