muse monday: quilt your veggies (part 2)
OK, I’m showing my city roots here, but I recently found this stalk of brussels sprouts at Trader Joe’s (TJ’s, what’s not to love!) and I just couldn’t resist. I’d never seen the way they actually grew before. Maybe I imagined they grew in rows like cute little mini cabbages?
What a great combination of shapes! A brussels sprouts stalk would be a lot of fun to use as a reference for a yummy wall hanging. You could do it all in shades of green or mix it up scrappy style in any colors you choose. It would make a wonderful abstract piece of art.
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends (and to those of you from other countries too. We all have so much to be thankful for!) If you find yourself cooking up a feast this week or simply eating one, be sure to take a few moments to to savor the shapes and colors of the holiday food, because you just might find the inspiration for your next quilterly masterpiece. And if you haven’t seen it before, be sure to check out my first Quilt Your Veggies post for a veggie-licious color palette and a fab Boston Lettuce quilt.
