Allowing












New work here. I love love love making the circle giggles, like the green/orange one to the left. I have always had an affinity for enso circles, and circles in general (maybe that's why I love cookies). But when I started doing the bird scenes people had such a positive response to them. I didn't expect that. I love making those too. It feeds my secret desire to do illustration. So now I am going to feed my secret desire some more and watch what happens.

Can I just be cranky for a second. My favorite fabric in Northampton closed this past summer. Every contemporary quilter in the area cried. So as I am getting all this work done I am watching my stash dwindle. Where am I going to buy this fabulous fabric? I resist buying online. I want to feel the fabric. What looks pretty is not always made well. Gee, maybe I have to go to NYC on a little buying trip!!!!

Thanks for reading.

I'd love to make a field trip to the fabrics of NYC, if you want company!

I have a great book called Enso: Zen Circles of Enlightenment.

One of my favorites to flip through...

Thanks for the posts!!! Kate, I went to NYC and Mood Fabrics--so overwhelming. I have rediscovered The Textile Co. in Greenfield. Check it out, if you live around here.
