Well, here it is ... what I've spent the last month working on! I'm pleased with it, and I hope you all love it too.Mosaic
Swirls
Scallop
Garden Path
So now it's up to the Connecting Threads staff to decide whether my collection is the one they want to produce and sell. Connecting Threads will be featuring all five of the finalists' collections on their blog, Notions, in the coming days, and will announce the winner in the next few weeks.
I haven't seen the other finalists' collections yet, so I have no idea how mine stacks up, but regardless of what happens, I'm so glad I did this. I learned a lot about designing a complete line of fabric, including many lessons about how to approach the design process next time (if there is one). And since I'm happy with the end result, I feel like it's a win for me even if my line doesn't end up being produced. But of course, fingers and toes crossed that it will be!
I love what you've done! They all look fabulous! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteoh. my. word. This is gorgeous!!! Fabulous job. I'm crossing my fingers for you, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was a ton of work, but I love it! Hope Connecting Threads does, too.
ReplyDeleteOh Lee, I LOVE it! Such great design elements and everything works together so well! Best of luck...got my fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your beautiful fabric and good luck with the final stage! I'm loving the purples in this range!
