I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what inspires me- well, this does! Jan’s post about her trip to the Chicago Quilt Fest is full of wonderful inspiration and be sure to check out the flickr set that she put together. So much deliciousness!

I love your work so much, and it’s absolutely fascinating to me that while we do virtually the same thing in many ways, it’s so different! Thanks for the continual inspiration.
And I love old gravestones also — the designs (the face!) on those are fantastic.
I love your dolls! my granddaughter and I really love the babies and have tried to make our own as I teach her to sew. Yours are a great inspiration!
This makes me happy. love, Beth
Another lovely baby, Mimi. I especially like the raised couched detail on the flowers. Nice finishing touch!
How beguiling. This reminds me of the (Inuit?) story of where babies come from – mothers have to dig them out of the earth in springtime. Love the flowers (cf early crewel work and old applique quilts).
I love the way you bring bold patterns and color into your work. Wonderful face, with offset hair!
jan’s posts are full of colorful inspiration for sure. This bold and beautiful baby is just one of my favs!
Yet another beautiful baby!!! Great work!
Thanks for the kind mention, Mimi.
