Inspired – hard to say I usually sew to relax so I guess whatever I do depends on how the day went, am I mad at someone, elated by somehting … I like to thumb through “real” books, to see what others do and if it’s just to decide “not going to do that!”
Ohh one thing though – moasic paving on the sidewalk and iron work gates absolutely have to be turned into quilting patterns and if it’s just happenign in my mind.

It can be an old floor tile with a beautiful pattern or a red leaf in a blueish puddle. At other times it is thinking about the person I want to make something for. And sometimes inspiration comes with the making.

Honestly, cute prints inspire me. It’s like a sculpture who looks at a piece of clay or wood and can “see” what it wants to be made into. That’s what cute printed fabric does for me.
