<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The color in Spring Bloom is inspired by my new life in Southern California. I grew up outside of Chicago and was accustomed to a four seasons climate. I always looked forward to Spring and all the fresh flowers, colors and scents it brought with it. When I first moved to California the time seamed different without four distinct seasons.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It took me a long time to get used to it. Now I appreciate that there are gardens blooming year round and I am constantly surrounded by color. I look forward to seeing flowers everyday. So I hope the bright colors in Spring Bloom fabrics get you excited for Spring!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so excited to introduce the Spring Bloom Fabric collection with <a href="http://www.windhamfabrics.net/cgi-bin/fabricshop/designer.cgi?designer=56" target="_blank">Windham Fabrics</a> that ships to stores next week! We are debuting the collection with an exciting Spring Bloom Makers blog hop starting April 20th. This is the first of many blog posts about my artistic adventures. To kick it off I want to share the photos from the Spring Bloom look book. We shot these photos around the beaches and gardens in Los Angeles.</span><br />
