Eat Your Peas

I am wishing you all a warm friend, family, and food filled week! And don't forget to eat your peas!

Pears and Kangaroo Paws

New Painting - Pears and Kangaroo Paws.

Minky on Etsy

I found my minky fabrics on Etsy for those of you that might be interested. These are the same designs in the Creatures and Critters collection with Robert Kaufman - larger scale and new colors.

And here are photos of a blanket made with the minky fabric by minkybabyblankets on Etsy. Cuddly cute!

Print & Pattern book

The Print & Pattern book by Bowie Style (of the Print and Pattern blog ) is available for pre-order purchase on Amazon.co.uk. I can't wait to see the book. (I have three pattern designs featured in it.) You can pre order it here.  I am not sure when it will be available in the US to order, but I will be sure to let you know.

On A Whim 2 Preview

Here is a better look at On A Whim ll coming in January. I don't have the actual fabrics yet, but am showing you the prints, so more to come soon, I promise. Some of these colors will be a bit different than what you are seeing here. It is just a preview as the actual fabrics are still being printed.

The collection includes:
Two bird prints
One owl print
One cat print
One frog print
One lion print
One floral print
Two geometric circles
Two geometric stripes

Are you as excited as I am about this collection??

Always Better in Person

I received my samples of the All My Heart collection and the cupcake prints from Kaufman's Confections line - it is always a rush to feel the fabrics and see the colors in person vs. on the web. They are so much more vibrant and rich than photos do justice. Here are some random pix I shot including the lemon colorway of the hearts in circles print. I hope you enjoy the fabrics. Stay tuned for a fun give away - I am a bit snowed under with projects, but I hope to do it before the holidays.

KooKoo for Kokka

Please pardon my current obsession. There is fun, there is good, and there is even great, but then there is inspired. I am crazy about Naomi Ito, designer of the Nano Iro Collection for Kokka textiles.
