More inspiration from Michelle + GIVEAWAY

Hello! I'm Michelle from Tres Bien Ensemble and I am so pleased to be here. Before I dive into my inspiration for this challenge, I want to extend an enormous THANK YOU!! to Nat and Lucy for inviting me to be a guest. I'm so very impressed by the genius of this community. I love a good challenge based project, and I find it inspiring to see the many ways individuals interpret a theme. This blog is brilliant, ladies. Hats off to you!

At the announcement of this month's challenge, my mind went straight to a cut of fabric I had stashed. The combination of the changing season, a new pattern, and my hibernating, butterfly print fabric were the driving force behind my Wings themed project.

To further fuel my fancy, I created a board to keep track and pull ideas from. I found a variety of beautiful butterfly print garments,

Beautiful butterfly inspired quilts,

knits,

and applique

I was also able to find a wide variety of Butterfly print fabrics. Lots and lots of ideas to choose from! Are you feeling 'all a flutter' yet? As a closing note and a gesture of gratitude for the delightful privilege of being here, I want to offer a giveaway! On April 15th, I'll reveal the skirt I made using Deer&Doe's, Chardon Skirt ,and Nat and Lucy will randomly select one of you to receive a copy of this pattern!

Wings of ink

For the theme 'WINGS' this month I am taking inspiration from tattoos. I love the bold look of these designs and tattoos by artist Gre Hale:

I'm not getting another tattoo just yet but I love these styles.

If tattoos aren't your thing then here's some other ideas of wings and fabric inspiration from the Fat Quarter Shop
Boys Toys by Print & Pattern, The Birds and the Bees by Tula Pink, Timeless Treasures Grey Wingtip

How are you all getting on with your projects? What is your inspiration?

The theme for May is WINGS.

Interpret that in any way you like! All manner of wings welcome. Think laterally or literally... it is up to you.
