Anybody who has been paying attention would know that the last 6 months, I've been a bit obsessed with my new job. Let me just say that Customer Service is not for the weak at heart...but...if you love your product and you love working with people, it can be really fun. Not to mention throw in a nice work environment and a touch of technology and its really is fun.
That all said, my creative side is slowly but surely coming back to life. I've had this idea baking in the back of my brain for two weeks no. Has that ever happened to you? You get an idea, and it just sits there and grows little by little while you're doing other things?
Well, here is my story of the day...
Another passion this summer is my return to thrift clothing...a little because it's good for the environment...a little because it's cost effective...and a lot of it is the thrill of the hunt. Last month, I was looking for long sleeve shirts when I spotted a rack of linens.... Where this was on the end....
The print made me think of a card that has been sitting on my studio wall for a couple of years just waiting. It's a pretty card but I thought it would be a better art quilt. I never wanted to copy the card exactly but just let it inspire me into piece with the same kind of feel. Which got me thinking....
What happened if I put the two together?
I was hoping to have a sketch done by tonight, but I've been too brain dead. I'm quite sure my boss told me twice this week, I better slow down and maybe this is what he means. Apparently, there is more to the world than USA made Pliers.

I look forward to rest of the story
What a fun table cloth!!! Looking forward to what it becomes!
Ooooo, this is exciting! Two beautiful images, merged!
The fabric is beautiful! Can't wait to see the new design, happy creating!
I know exactly what you mean. I started a new job 4 months ago. I'm only starting to be able to sew during the weekdays, and it's only a couple of evenings too. Eventually, we will both be able to sew weekdays and weekends. Love the print of that table cloth, and you know, once you turn it into a top or skirt, no one will know what it was. Enjoy! ;^)
I can't tell you what reading your comment meant to me - I kinda feel like a freak at this point having so much fun at work and enjoying the challenge of it all. You never hear that from people. Then I feel guilty by letting my passion for creating fall by the wayside. Just hearing that I'm not so "odd" helps!
