Fabric that's yummy enough to eat

I don't know why, but I get extremely giddy with a new stack of fabric.  I like to arrange it in different ways - by designer, buy color, etc.  I like to feel it, lay it all out and imagine what it could be.

Yes, I admit, I sometimes buy fabric with no idea what I will do with it, but I must have it for it's pure beauty.  I think what amazes me most is thinking about the designer, the artist, who sits with their sketchbook and with some inspiration and the creative juices flowing creates shapes and patterns and color combinations so beautiful and inspiring.

It starts with the idea, and through all the stages the artist goes through to have that image replicated on a piece of fabric - something tactile that is meant to be touched and held or worn against your skin is simply amazing.  You can't do that in an art gallery.
