well, it's been a while since i've written a post...
i just returned from switzerland with a huge suitcase full of gorgeous fabrics for spring and am now starting to think spring. i was able to buy all kinds of wonderful fabrics directly from 2 fabric factories in switzerland as well as 2 others just across the border in germany. they are all manufactured there, not in some countries far far away. it was refreshing to not just see textile manufacturing there but lots of companies manufacturing all kinds of wonderful products right there in the heart of europe. hope the good ol' US of A will take a lesson from that.
so spring is looking full of pattern mixing for me. we got plaids and stripes and all kinds of other good stuff. i will also design some of the fabrics i will be using. the inspirations so far are moss, flowers, newts (yes, NEWTS!) and swiss scherenschnitte (a traditional art of papercutting design). can't wait to see what we end up with!
