I've mentioned the site Weird Friends before. You just never know what you are going to see there. I've saved some images to share with you. The first is this magazine cover. These dolls would be fun to applique, don't you think? The shapes are modern-looking – as opposed to a lot of the doll patterns that I normally see.

What I like about the mittens is the way the designs are combined. I see a checkerboard combined with lightning bolts.This is a fun combo for patchwork.

I'm finding it hard to say something good about the tie quilt…

I have to admit that I am more of a cat person than a dog person so it's not the dogs in this photo that caught my eye. It's the fabric! This would be a fun fabric to paint. You could make big stamps out of fun foam and go to town. Or you could use this as the basis for an all-over applique quilt… isn't it fun to find inspiration in unusual places?
