  1. The fabric and people inspire me; most of what I make are gifts and I always try to design/use fabric that I think suits the person!

  3. I follow by simply coming to your site daily to see what’s new; I like the surprise of seeing if there is something new instead of checking my email. Then I usually end up reading past posts anyways. 🙂

  6. I am inspired by an amazing print fabric and I think of other colors to go with or contrast. I can usually see the pattern I want to use and that determines the compliment/contrast ideas. I am IN LOVE with the fabrics in your give away and know I could make something so stinkin’ cute with them.

  18. To be honest… I have no idea what inspires me to create. Sometimes I just wake up with the need to make something. Sometimes it’s been ruminating for ages, and sometimes it just pops out of the blue.

  19. Great plan – teaming up for a doubly great giveaway! I think my desire for sanity is what drives me to create! A day with no sewing, or quilting of any sort, leaves me feeling not quite right.

  25. I love seeing cool products in stores and thinking, I could make that! Or when a friend/family says something like “you know what would be neat?” and I manage to piece together a few different ideas into exactly what they were looking for.

  30. I honestly think that it is fabric that inspires me – I love it when you have an idea in your head and you search and search for just the right fabric to use and it works out as you imagined it – not always but when it does it is so rewarding.

  39. The thing that inspires me to create is the fact that I never, ever, would say that I was creative until I started sewing. The fact that I can use straight lines and follow patterns allow me to create something beautiful excites me. The thing that keeps me going is the beautiful fabric and all of my babies who need quilts but the simplicity of it all has me hooked!

  49. I find my quilting friends are a great inspiration. I love to see what everyone else is working on and sharing ideas with them. Also, I really value their encouragement to try new ideas and get out of my comfort zone.
