I am inspired by the watercolors of Cheng-Khee Chee. He paints mainly fish, birds and landscapes. Because he lives in the same city as I do, many of his landscapes capture the same view I have from the window of my sewing studio.

Loads of different people. A couple of artist friends of mine though make me want to do more stuff.

oh man, that’s such a hard question… Julia de Ville’s work from a few years ago, as well as Lauren DiCioccio’s embroidery work, and really just about anyone working in subversive embroidery or crochet.
