what's inspiring me now

Red jacket

I’m back! and filled with so much inspiration and new things to share with you! But, as you know I tend to get all 'verklempt' = slightly overwhelmed and on information and inspiration overload. I have found that I usually have to let everything soak in for a moment before I find the words to write a blog post. That and I had to immediately jump back into my usual work routine for some pressing deadlines. 

But I just wanted to pop in, say a quick hello, and share with you my weekly inspiration. This week: {well besides just about everything Quilt Market, which will be in another post soon to follow} it’s my favorite red jacket, from Anthropologie, circa 2007 {I think?} by Elevenses. Lord knows I wore it almost all of Quilt Market, which worked out quite well really as I was always easy to find. Not only am I enamored with red clothing but this particular jacket has the best fabric lining. I am crazy for the design and the colors of the tulips. Speaking of fabric, which I did for the last four days non-stop, I would love that interior lining printed on some fabric to make a pillow.

Aside from having a great time at market, I also got even more good news today that I can’t wait to share. All in all a very, very good few days!!! You know those moment when it feels like all the work you’ve done is finally coming together in the ways that you’ve always hoped for, today was one of those days. It must be the red jacket. ;)

Hard to believe QM was only a a week ago - seems ages already. Enjoy your processing and introspection - sure hope we have a chance to be in one another's company again, Marisa! All the best.

p.s. I say verklempt, too! I see way too much of the world as an SNL skit at times!
Amazing!!
