Fabric Dreams!

If you know me, you may know that I am seriously obsessed with buying quilting fabric. It's really bad. It's really bad, because I don't buy all of it just to quilt with. I find fabric designs. . . and fabric designers. . . to be unbelievably inspiring. It feeds my creative spirit to gawk and drool over beautiful fabric.

Recently, as I realize that my degree in painting is just about useless on the career front, I have become more and more interested in the notion of designing my own fabric line. It's becoming a dream that I don't just want to stay a dream. I know it would take a lot of hard work and research, but my interest has been sparked.

Even more recently, say in the past week or two, I have realized that I want more than anything to use my inspirations of places I exist in to be my subject matter. For example, should I do a line about Cardiff, the beach, the mountains? I wouldn't want them to be obvious, but subtle influences in a genuine "Taylor Kate" sort of print.

While I keep dreaming and starting to research, I think these ideas will be my focus. I need to go buy a Moleskine notebook.
