]]> Artists of all kinds are often asked where they find inspiration. Have you ever noticed that the answer is often “everywhere”? Creative people seem to naturally find ideas every place they look. Whether you’re like that or not, you’ll appreciate the eye-popping detailed photos from the Olympus Bioscapes International Digital Imaging Competition.

These photos conjure quilts in my mind through their colors, shapes, lines, rhythm, repetition and so much more.

Doesn’t this just call out to be interpreted in fabric?

This fairly shouts “machine quilting” to me. Take a peek for some inspiring views!

]]> Are you a quilter inspired by photography? Just got this press release about a new contest.

“The Eye of the Quilter: Inspirations” will debut at the 35th anniversary of International Quilt Festival/Houston October 15-18, 2009. But instead of works of fabric, this special exhibit will feature photographs—taken by quilters—of something that “inspires” them. It could be a sunset, a child’s face, a landscape, body of water…the possibilities are endless.

Entrants can submit up to three digital photo shots for the contest, and winners will be on display in a special area at the fall Festival in Houston for the more than 53,000 attendees to marvel at.

Rules and entry form for “The Eye of the Quilter: Inspiration,” are available at quilts.com, under the “Contests” section. Deadline for entry is September 1, 2009.
