street art inspiration







 

I could spend all day looking; drinking in the inspiration.

Seeing this feeds my soul, reminds me of the talent, creativity, humour, human struggle and variety 'out there'.

Sometimes I need, I mean really need to be reminded that there is so much more outside my small, mundane, suburban existance

click through and feed your soul

sending out an S.O.S.

I know you're out there, fabric horders and stashers, I need your help!

A dear friend of mine has a daughter obssessed with mermaids. 
She is gearing up to moving into her own bedroom so my friend wants to decorate the room with a mermaid/underwater theme.

While discussing this with her one day I jumped on pinterest and showed her some of the beautiful quilts made with Heather Ross' Mendocino fabric. 
She fell. in. love.

So this is where I need your help. 
As we all know this fabric is rare as hens teeth, but I have cooked up a plan to make a quilt for my little friends birthday later this year, using as much Mendocino fabric as I can get my hands on. 
I am particularly interested in the aqua/orange colourway as in these gorgeous quilts I found on flickr.
