Serendipity

One thing that's so great about Cannon Beach is the Center Diamond, the coziest quilt shop I've been in. The people are so nice, and the selection of fabric runs from fun retro styles (Dick and Jane were featured recently) to sophisticated Asian designs (such as the Emperor's Collection). They also have a great selection of books, including the- difficult-to-find Beaney & Littlejohn series.

One of the things that caught my eye was Mary Jo Hiney's selection of silk fabrics. She has several color-way options, but this one really stood out for me. I like the juxtaposition of warmer, earth colors with vibrant blue and purple. I splurged and bought it.

Sometimes when we get home, there's so much to do that the quilt store treasures remain in the bag for a few days . . .  and this was no exception. When I finally unpacked the selection of silks, I put it on the bookshelf in front of my workspace as to remind myself of the gorgeous colors.

Then I looked down.

I saw a canvas I had been using to clean paint off  my brushes. It had a very similar color palette to the silk collection (the edges were lime green). The subconscious is amazing.

*lol* Isn't it so nice when even your subconscious thinks you're doing gorgeous work??
