I get inspired by so many things…I’ll wake up from a dream with a certain color on my mind and have to look in my stash for a match. I am never quite sure what I’m going to do with some of my fabrics and supplies when I buy them…I often wait for a dream, or after a walk, or some other moment in time that catches me just right. Thanks for the giveaway!
