I clicked on Pink Chalk Studio and came across this photo of, what looks like, fabric selection during the design phase. I admit, I didn&#8217;t read the post&#8230;yet. What struck me about this photo is that it is my ideal way of picking fabric. I would like to have the space (physical and brain) to heap up fabrics and look at them kind of jumbled together. This photo of these jumbled together fabrics give me an idea of how they would look in a project.<\/p>\n<p>The problem comes in the actual execution. Sigh. I know that if I take these fabrics out of the closet and jumble them, I will most certainly have to refold and put at least half of them away.<\/p>\n<p>I know I have to do something like this (make visual decisions visually), but I seem to have a brain block. Perhaps I need a studio assistant? HAH! Or just continue to work on cultivating enjoyment of the entire process.<\/div>\n<table style=\"border: 4px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin: 12px 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-family: arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; width: 100%; clear: left;\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><!-- BEGIN_CLIP_CONTENT ID:EAF0D8AA-8911-42A3-996F-71A62450AE95:0 CLIPMARKS.COM --><\/p>\n<div class=\"CM_CTB_Content_Wrap\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(220, 220, 220); white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); background-image: url(http:\/\/clipmarks.com\/images\/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/clipmarks.com\/clip-to-blog\/\" title=\"clipmarks' clip-to-blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/content.clipmarks.com\/blog_icon\/a5ed1b51-9726-4827-b126-56d42646ff12\/EAF0D8AA-8911-42A3-996F-71A62450AE95\/\" alt=\"\" style=\"border: medium none ; margin: 0px 4px; vertical-align: middle; display: inline; float: none;\" width=\"19\" border=\"0\" height=\"19\" \/><\/a>clipped from <a title=\"http:\/\/pinkchalkstudio.com\/blog\/2008\/09\/29\/hopscotch-table-runner\/\" href=\"http:\/\/pinkchalkstudio.com\/blog\/2008\/09\/29\/hopscotch-table-runner\/\" style=\"font-size: 11px;\">pinkchalkstudio.com<\/a><\/div>\n<blockquote style=\"border: medium none ; margin: 4px 0px 8px; padding: 0px 8px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; text-align: left; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;\" cite=\"http:\/\/pinkchalkstudio.com\/blog\/2008\/09\/29\/hopscotch-table-runner\/\">\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/content7.clipmarks.com\/blog_cache\/www.pinkchalkstudio.com\/img\/B8CA5032-BA54-45AA-873C-CB7A2B575CCE\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;\">\n<table style=\"padding: 0px; font-size: 11px; border-spacing: 0px;\" width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-width: 0px; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;\"> <\/td>\n<td style=\"border-width: 0px; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; width: 107px;\" width=\"107\" align=\"right\"><a href=\"http:\/\/clipmarks.com\/share\/EAF0D8AA-8911-42A3-996F-71A62450AE95\/blog\/\" title=\"blog or email this clip\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/content8.clipmarks.com\/images\/c2b-foot.png\" alt=\"blog it\" style=\"border-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\" width=\"107\" border=\"0\" height=\"17\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avoiding work, I was browsing the blogs.
