\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I was a girl, living in California, my mother would take me on walks in the magical coastal forests<\/a>…I would skip and prance through the ferns and the Redwoods…searching for wild strawberries, hummingbirds, monarch butterflies, and fairies. We would walk beside a splashing crystal stream, then would hopscotch on shiny wet rocks to get to the other side of the water.<\/p>\n

The other side of the river always seemed so full of mystery and potential. The sweet smell of the green forest was intoxicating. We found a fallen tree across a brook, and teetered across the mossy log.<\/p>\n

Then we would sit by the water and pull out our peanut butter and berry jam sandwiches, and eat slowly while we quietly listened to the sounds of the forest<\/a>…the birds, the water, the buzzing bees, the wind in the leaves.<\/p>\n

Do you have a memory like this with a parent or grandparent? Did someone in your family introduce you to the sights and smells of Nature? Did you jump in a creek, pick wild berries, or run through fields of wildflowers?<\/p>\n

If so, you are SO lucky. We really have to look for those wild places now. Sometimes we put those memories in our quilts. These fabrics remind me of those childhood walks in the forest. What memories are you drawn to, when picking out fabrics for your next project?<\/p>\n

sharing your Passion for Fabric…
\nLuana and Paul<\/p>\n
