Might be a while of course but who knows.
Thanks for the support. I am enjoying this site a lot. Heaps of great inspiration everywhere you look.
Thanks for the info on the book! Know lots of people will love looking into that! Wondered where you got the idea of splitting the houses and thought maybe they were a reflection of some houses painted that way in NZ. I know in some countries the houses are painted in all different colors which reflects whether the taxes have been paid or not on the house so the authorities can quickly identify the poor. Your fabrics are just beautiful and we are so impressed with the diversity of these houses! We look forward to seeing more of your work and we wait patiently. Kudos!! :-D ;)
