An Inspiring Parcel


Oh joyous rapture! My fabrics have arrived! I needed a little shot of inspiration, so I treated myself to some wonderful pieces of Kaffe Fasset fabric, which arrived in today's post.
When I was a little girl, my Mother used to knit the most beautiful cardigans and jumpers, and make the most wonderful needlepoint cushions and quilted bedspreads using Kaffe Fasset patterns. She had a couple of his books and I used to pore over the pictures, drinking in the colours and details. His work continues to inspire me to this day.
I'm not sure yet what I will do with the fabrics. To be honest, they look lovely just sitting on top of my sewing box, and make me smile every time I walk past it!
