yards of inspiration

The background image for this months calendar is an image from a new fabric collection "Yards of Inspiration" released last weekend.
Husband and I do enjoy our day trips and in particular the Scenic Rim. When I was accepted into Open Studios as an Artist-n-Residence, I was thrilled and looked forward to working with the many images I've captured across several trips to the area. 

The image used for the calendar background and the middle four fabrics is inspired by captured moments during visits to Aliquilts Studio at Tarome. I then integrated these with images captured within our own humble yard and home; an artistic response, an integration of two communities, two artists and our creative havens. 

The bottom fabric is inspired by images captured during a day trip to Mount French near Boonah and the grass trees that grow there. 

As each piece evolved, I enjoyed remembering our visits to this beautiful part of South-East Queensland and my mind flowed with additional ideas. It seemed natural to name the collection "Yards of Inspiration". The Yards of Inspiration collection is available through Spoonflower.
