Like Denyse I have done lots of different things sewing and craft wise, but it all shows in my quilting. I always find a way to fit the things I love together and try lots of different techniques.
I love the sea too and the sherbet colors with black--I love to always use a little black in my quilt like her...I love the fresh modern look like her---I call it the happy look.....it lifts your spirit just working with fun colors...
Denyse's comments about her mother sewing for the kids reminds me of my own childhood. Sewing was just something that women did, whether they were particularly good at it or liked it or not. It was just something women and girls did. Denyse's collections remind me of those years when my mother made us dresses out of light cottons, and when I learned to sew myself, not self-consciously as a crafter or artist, just as part of growing up.
My life has been a patchwork of activities too and now I'm into patchworking fabric together. Denyse's new fabric collection is inspiring and the accompanying quilt pattern is even more so.
I like finding inspiration in the past, I also feel nostalgia for earlier times and simplicdad. I'm always inspired by nature and its beauty. Denyse thanks for sharing, when I see your designs I feel bound to your creation.
Picnics on the beach are the best!
