My Inspiration!


Can you guess what my inspiration was for this granny square?  How about a well-known and famous trademark for a mustard!


I was getting lunch ready for my hubby and me yesterday when I took a second look at French's Classic Yellow mustard jar.   What great colors I thought.  Wouldn't a dishcloth look stunning in these bright colors of RED, BLUE, WHITE and YELLOW?  I had to make one to see.




Update:  I'm adding some additional photos taken outdoors with better light. 




What do you think?  
Are you inspired to design in strange ways too?

  2. How extraordinary, to be inspired by a mustard bottle. I totally love this.;)
    I do not really sew or crochet, but I love to take photographs, creating collages, to draw and to pant oil paintings.
    Almost at all times I am inspired by beautiful views of nature. The only other inspiration in my painting is the graceful motion in the run of horses.
    Have a lovely day dear Sandy,

  5. Hi Sandy-
    just wanted to say...what a cute little dish cloth- yes! those colors look great together. Can you think off hand of another brand of mustard? Maybe it's the colors that sell it.
    Hey.. you could market your dish cloth...French's Classic yellow, dishcloth... sell a million of 'em.

    I'd pity your tired fingers....(snort)
