BIRDS… ‘inspiring crafters everywhere’

It’s sad but true… There is no beating nature. It’s just not possible. When it comes to colour and pattern and general wonderfulness, nature is number ONE. Take birds for example.  Their feathers are the inspiration of clothes, home furnishings, accessories and more.

That yellow!

And that blue! Find me a fabric that captures those hues and I’ll be a happy camper (quite literally, as we’re currently camping on Australia’s Gold Coast). By the way, these photos come from my adventures in a wonderful wildlife park just outside of Sydney.

What do you mean ‘garish’?!

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of bright colours. And hey, a little bit of colours clashing – that’s just another way of having a little fun. Like red and pink… sounds good to me. Or ‘blue and green should never be seen’ – HA! That’s what you think. My new patchwork quilt is no exception, and as well as bright colours, I’ve sprinkled in a few ‘silly’ patterns.
