Fabric as Art...

I've been reading and thinking about fabric....and the reason I 'collect' it. I realized that I think of fabric as art. Actually to me it is art in a two-fold way, first it is the art of the fabric itself...the color, texture, pattern, etc. but then it is art in an imagined way. What I mean is what many of you would probably understand...the potential of that particular fabric to become a 'design' or work of art in the form of a piece of clothing, accessory, decor item, or whatever the case may be. My collection of fabric is like a collection of any other kind....I collect because of an appreciation of whatever it was that drew me to the piece just as with a painting, sculpture, or anything else!

Well that being said, I have to admit that I have not started anything for my 6PAC yet, but I DID finish a romper for my granddaughter (they left 2 days ago) and a nightgown and bed jacket for my daughter who is having surgery tomorrow. I'm hoping to be able to put some focus toward the capsule tomorrow and maybe post something!
