My sisters are so creative. This month one is launching a new website while another is opening a quilt store. They're always up to something.
Sew Katie Jean is my younger sister's store. It's in CA. I'm in MA. Not much I could do to help, but when Katie said she needed some projects for display, I volunteered. Here's the fabric she sent...
Stared at them for a good week. I mean, could they be any different? Inspiration was slow in coming, but when it finally hit, words were leading the way.
When I wasn't sewing, I was writing. Creativity breeding creativity. Pillows breeding chapters. Who knew?

That brought tears to my eyes! It is perfect and I can hardly wait to have it in my shop. With a sign saying "MINE - please do not touch". I love you and I love how you used the words, it's perfect!
Hi, I'm Paula Prass and the fabric you made all the incredible things with is from my new Botanika collection. Just beautiful and inspirational. Bravo!!!
Fantastic! The only thing I can sew is buttons when they fall off of a shirt or sweater. I'm duly impressed.
And, best of luck to your wonderful sisters. (I've got three, and they're three of the most amazing people I know. Sisters rule!)
That is completely adorable!! Just love the dream pillow!

KT, I'm so glad you liked it! It's on the way.
Paula, Thanks so much! I'm so glad you like it. I have to tell you, the graphics on your butterfly fabric, are just beautiful. I'm keeping all the scraps to make something for myself!
OH my, that pillow is gorgeous! You did an amazing job. :-) And your sisters sound very interesting!
Wow! What clever and inspiring use of fabrics!
Love your design:)
I would love to see it on SeamedUP.com also (full-disclosure, I am one of the founders of the site).
Come on by - I'm sure all of our members will love it as well.
SeamedUP, I went on your site and posted my pillow. What a great place to find sewing inspiration. Thanks for the nudge!
OMGoodness, Judith! That green in my accent color in my family room. I mixed it with a muted gold color for curtains, pillows and in some of the art. :) It's nice to see someone I admire liking the same stuff I like.
Although the green would not find its match in my house, I adore the combination. Check out the Garden Border in Meadow Colorway on her blog. It is my absolute favorite! http://paulaprass.blogspot.com/2011/05/more-botanika.html
