A little Sneak & a Peek
March 07, 2012
You know when you see fabric that just makes your heart skip a beat?
That is what this is doing for me right now. I know, I know... part of me feels like I can't say that about my own work and I should wait for someone else to say it. But I can't!
I also have to admit that this is not always true of every collection or design I do. Sometimes I really like them and think they are good. Sometimes I love them. Sometimes I wish I could have added something more or expressed my vision a bit differently. Sometimes its a combo of all of the above.
But sometimes, I dream about them before they get here. This is one of those times.
I have so many more pics to show you but I think it might be best to wait just a bit. It's called TAPESTRY. Hope it adds some loveliness to your day.
Stay tuned for another big reveal this week. We are just full of surprises around here.
OOh; what a sneak peek! Definitely liking it more than your last (forgot title; the line after Strawberry Fields). :D

Ah, the caramels/butterscotch again. It is a different colour palette- I can't put my finger on exactly what is different, but it just is. I am a Fig Tree groupie. It looks great!

The colors are so warm and inviting! Love it!

Great name, "Tapestry" and really exciting developments in colour and pattern that I feel sure will add rich new dimensions to my stash (already blessed with your past work) Thanks for this peek at the next delightful step with you.

Those red-oranges and aquas. Gotta get it. You are a fabric addicts best friend. And her bank accounts worst enemy! LOL
Can't wait to see more pics.
