I am always amazed by the inspiration that daily life brings. My newest collection Snapshot is no different. It grew from a simple moment in time that sparked my creative juices once more. One morning I was having breakfast with my eldest son. For some reason and in a split second I looked across the table and realized that my one time little boy had grown into a young man. Now 11 years old and entering middle school I asked myself how did those years go by so quickly? I couldn't stop looking. I soaked in all the detail of his new profile. In that moment completely unnoticed by him I took that mental Snapshot of him that will live in my mind forever. We all have them, those moments great and sometimes relatively insignificant that stand out forever in our mental photo album. The dictionary defines a Snapshot as an impression or view of something brief or transitory. Perfectly defined. The image of my son, one that on another day I may not have even noticed. For some reason in that moment I saw him differently and now the image is ingrained in my memory. That day when he left for school I moved into my studio and began my newest collection. It began with sepia as it is so representative of an old photograph. Then I added pink, such a natural companion. Next came aqua, green and a hint of yellow all colors used in days gone by. As I worked the color palette images of vintage photographs came to mind. Those images then sparked other delicate ideas roses, small birds and more. Bit by bit Snapshot grew into something both lovely & nostalgic. Of course being the true romantic that I am it will always remind me of my son. The Snapshot collection is beautifully suited for quilting, children's clothing and items for the home. I look forward to designing a new collection of Vintage Spool patterns that will bring this new fabric line to life. As always I can hardly wait to see what others will be inspired to do.
