Collection Sneak Peek
This collection has been so much fun and a jumping-off point for a couple of other collections I didn’t even think of until I started working on this.

National Thread the Needle Day
Though my sewing skills are pretty remedial, I have a bit of an obsession with fabric (and paper) and I like being able to choose the right print for the right project. No matter how simple it is.

Monday Mood Board
For many months I have had some ideas about how to use these shapes in a pattern, maybe a whole collection. I’m still kicking the idea around. Looking for inspiration everywhere these days. But can you look for inspiration or does inspiration find you?

Rain or Shine Collection Part 2
An interesting thing happened as I was working on this collection. All the focus was on the whippets (as it should be), but as I pulled the collection apart I discovered I could do some fun things with only a few key patterns from the collection and I think these prints may have more appealContinue reading “Rain or Shine Collection Part 2”
Rain or Shine Collection Part 1
I’m super excited this collection “Rain or Shine” is now available on Spoonflower for purchase! This is a collection that was created with my adventurous whippets in mind. I initially had created many of the motifs for other collections but decided to change them up a bit by using pop art and Memphis design as inspirationContinue reading “Rain or Shine Collection Part 1”
