Ah yes, we all need a little inspiration sometimes.

So… where do you find yours?

I find mine most often in Mother Nature, I think She gets it right all the time. The colour blends, textures and shapes – looking effortlessly coordinated, contrasting or matching… but not too matchy-matchy!

The blanket I just finished borrowed heavily on the Autumn colours I kept seeing on walks through gardens…

Beautiful gardens with lovely calm and still reflective lakes…

Beautiful gardens with a huge grove of cherry blossoms nearing the end of their Autumn glory…

Beautiful gardens with Autumn hues that are so vibrant you’d think a busy little fairy is painting the leaves bright red during the night…

And so the Autumn Ripples Blanket was born. (Blanket name eventually comes – and seems so obvious in hindsight!)
Inspired by my Autumn walks in beautiful gardens…Big hugs to Mother Nature for Her endless source of beauty and inspiration.
