Fabric roll of 40 2.5-inch by 44-inch (width of fabric) strips from the Blooming Lovely collection by designer Janet Clare for Moda Fabrics. Would you believe me if I said Blooming Lovely was inspired by a chocolate Labrador called Muffin? Every time I see Muffin (who wears a very fetching lilac collar) in the park when we're walking our dog Wilson, I notice how lovely the lilac and chocolate brown color combination is. So I sat down to draw with my sepia ink and lilac watercolors and started painting and playing. Before long, I had pages and pages of floral watercolor paintings to send to Moda. Blooming Lovely is filled with fresh, pretty and painterly florals, and to say thank you for the inspiration, I painted little Muffin the dog for the selvedge! -- Janet
