We welcome Cyndi Walker to our design team. When we saw her artwork last year, we knew it would make great fabric. We were right, Daydream just arrived and we love it. Cyndi lives in Washington State, so we don't get to see her very often, but she will be at Quilt Market in May. I asked Cyndi to send me some information about her and this is what she had to say....
