Here's a real 'which came first' question ... are you inspired by the fabric or inspired by the pattern? Well it looks like Fabri-Quilt is thinking that it'll be their new Inspired by Fabric Blogging Design Ring who will be the inspiration for your next quilting project!
Some of you know that I have a friendly relationship with Fabri-Quilt and Paintbrush Studios. They helped me pull together all the fabric for Side Dish ... my project that was in American Patchwork & Quilting last year. I love that quilt! The fabric was the perfect choice for an Autumn quilt.
And then last Spring, I was able to take a peek inside their factory and learn more about their business. You can read it on my blog from last May. Since then, they've launched a blog called Inspired by Fabric and a Facebook page as well. They've been busy!! Go check them out.
And now they're announcing the start of a design team! The designers will be bringing you new projects and posting them on their blog. The team consists of Jackie from Canton Village Quiltworks, Rebecca of Our Busy Little Bunch, Christina from 2 Little Hooligans, and me. I'm pleased to have been asked to join in! So in the next few weeks you'll begin to see new projects appearing ... usually one every other week. It's challenging having to create something new so often but I'm sure that with Fabri-Quilt's help, the fabric will be my inspiration for the pattern!

It depends on the situation. Sometimes it is the pattern, other times it is the fabric that inspires me.

*a*w*e*s*o*m*e!!!
I am probably most often inspired by the pattern, but sometimes the fabric is what moves me.
