If you love batiks let me know about your project. I just love new inspiration.

I have done Judy Neimeyer patterns as well. Both designers have fabulous patterns that are just screaming ...BATIK!!!
they are so similar to Judy's that I just assumed it was
a Judy Neimeyer pattern. It is still beautiful.
