Floral Inspiration

In case you've been wondering what I've been up to, I've been drawing floral motifs for new fabric designs. Yes, more flowers because that's what we like and what our lovely customers like.

Lilacs image from here.

I can't show you my work yet but here's a clue. I love lilacs and they come in such pretty shades of pinks & purples as well as white.

Speaking of lilac, Elessa and I screen-printed 10 metres of our Hydrangea print on white linen in this pretty shade for curtains and blinds for our guest room. I don't always have time to print for personal use so took advantage of a quiet week.

I'm now designing with our bedroom in mind. I'm excited that 6 more people will know how to print yardage after our 2-day workshop at the end of the month.

Unfortunately, that class is now fully booked. We may repeat the class again in a few months but no definite plans at this stage. My first priority for this year is to have a team that can print fabrics without me. Then I'll have a real business and time to do so much more. Have a great week!
