It is so funny how these things work but immediately after my previous post, I saw this sampler over here:
Whatchamacallit Sampler by Crystal Manning
Check it out! My mojo has been stalled but this is waking me up -- a sampler I really like! I'm seeing with this golden batik background and strong batiks and hand dyes... all stash. I sent the link to my friend in Arizona, and she's downloaded it and put it on the to-do list too.
