“Lilla,
Welcome to Critter Community. My latest Robert Kaufman fabric collection was inspired by my love of the forest, as a kid & still today. My childhood home backed up to the woods. The neighborhood was actually called “Park Forest”. I grew up playing under a canopy of trees: picking berries, hunting for lost treasure, chasing squirrels, spying on deer etc. (*See the photo below with me, the one in grass-green halter top, and my older sister hanging by “our” woods.)

Weather permitting, I still take weekly nature walks. I find the forest very relaxing and love watching it’s inhabitants scurry about. Enjoy! Suzy

“Hi Lilla.
I am excited to share my latest Chronicle project. It started as a collage that I created from scraps of office paper (I love to cut & paste in my free time). I was thrilled when Chronicle adopted the collage for this fanciful journal. We thoughtfully designed every spread, from cover to cover, to add whimsy to your writing experience. My favorite is the turtle page with writing space in the shell. “Turtles & Toadstools” can be pre-ordered now, and will deliver in the new year. Happy Journaling!”
