Whew! What an inferno of a start to summer '08.
The current cooler temp is so beautiful, I just had to do
a little dance (in my head), which then made me feel like
sharing cooling thoughts with y'all.
Kaffe Fassett's newest collection of fabric is just sooooo beautiful.
Vibrant, saturated colors, splashed about in bold, playful patterns.
If you don't know about Kaffe, he is one cool cat.
Raised in Big Sur, CA by artists,
he was destined to become onehimself. He started as a knitter,
but soon his talent for design
and color were sought by the
quilting world. So, lucky us on two counts!
We have his latest quilting and knitting pattern books, as well
as his fabrics. Come see them and be inspired!
Yet another multi-talented designer...
Anna Griffin has a newfabric collection which
just SHOUTS
summer-by-the-sea.
So, even if you don't
have a cottage
in the Hamptons,
you can pretend. Make a bag,
spruce up your guest room or
porch with a few summery pillows.
It will make everything cooler!
Snazz one and snazz two...
"If-I-were-a-supermodel"
(sung to the tune of:
If I had a million dollars)
OK, so we have these most
super snazz fabrics by
Dolce & Gabbana,
in the silkiest, softest
lightweight lycra and...
if I were blah, blah, etc...
...I would make myself a wrap dress.
Our supermodelish friend Krista is making herself a dress.
We will be jealous, but proud.
