entering...


it might just be me and my smutty mind, but that blog post title sounds vaguely rude...and about a very non-smutty project - for i have entered a design in the spoonflower/project selvage competition to design a fabric for baby boys. it's a variation of my 'town' design which i've always wanted to expand and this seemed like a good opportunity. hopefully it comes across as being sweet without being too saccharine, but not overly boisterous. i've been really spending time faffing with colour, i'm at last happy with that. i really really wish i had decent photoshop/illustrator skills, but sadly my brain just wants to explode. so i kept it simple, stupid. for that's what i'm all about. lo-tech, me. anyway, it would be really nice to get through to the next round (entries will be chosen by the spoonflower folk at this stage) but after that, it's voting time to whittle it down to the final ten. if i get as far as the last 75, i'll be boring you to death with it because i'd really need your help voting for me...fingers crossed!

Are you the Lucie Summers that designed the quilted vase in Quilting Daily? And are you in Mildenhall?

Hi! I'm fine. We are back living in Kentucky and have 2 grandchildren already! I still have the collection of your first fabrics for Makeower and one day I'll make something with them (I just hate to cut fabric I'm sentimental about.) It's exciting to see your stuff in publication and know that "I knew you when..."

Best wishes,
Judith
