I ran across it later and looked up the names. I was amazed and enthralled at this world of textile artists that I never knew existed. I had taken a Nancy Crow class but didn't know how it fit with what I did. The more I looked at others works, the more I was amazed. I wanted to be part of this wonderful world -no matter how small or insignificant-and started taking classes to take traditional quilting to a different path. The textile artist path...the beginning of something different.
But as a thank you to my husband -for Christmas- I purchased a piece of Paula's art-as a thank you to being inspired by three amazing women. The names on a card. It's a beautuful vase made from a reclaimed gutter off a house in Stowe. I know he loves it- it is a piece of Stowe, a piece of art from a new friend and a piece of thank you from me. I wanted it to be a vase as Paula intended it to be. But Marc just wants it to be- on his desk...( I put this pretty vase on the windowsill for the photo)
So, what inspired you?
Must run to actually sew again. Happy Sewing, my friends.

ReplyDeleteA visit to Paula's website was definitely fun. And you're right about her clocks - way cool. She's my inspiration for today, and so are you! (Just think, we did half the feet over the phone last night. You're halfway done!) ;-D
