I am trying to use them, but also leave room for the other smaller designs that go unnoticed. I think the color combinations give the smaller designs an edge too. I guess it is a better contrast to combine the two for real visual impact. Thanks, Jackie, for your comments

I am not truly in the fabric trade. Most of what I buy are old pieces, as a rule. This happened to be a sample book I picked up in my travels. If you know any designers, they will often give you these just to clear out their inventory so they can stock more current collections. I am really as common as they come, but my dreams are always up in the clouds.

Yes, no question, feeling better does feel like a rebirth after so much time confined in the same room. Everything feels like that new spring green.

I think the pillow idea is wonderful. And the first one is my choice as well. Fabric sample books are wonderful. It must be fantastic to be a person with their finger tips in the fabric trade. It sounds like you are very highly regarded.
I am glad you are feeling better…doesn’t it feel like re birth when you come out of something like the flu?

You have a good eye for balance and detail, and I love the elements you used. I am assuming you painted the woman? I also loved your dear ladies. Such talent you have.

These are so interesting…how clever to use such funky patterns together.
I have new respect for fiber artists…I tried my hand at a small quilt square and had the nerve to show it :)
