Cartography Challenge
Cartography Challenge Design Process This week, I’m participating in the Spoonflower design to create fabric inspired by map making that will look nice on a throw pillow. I started by pulling my copy of Undaunted Courage off the shelf. Lewis and Clark are the first thing that jumps into my mind when I think of…

Vintage Sportswear Challenge
A fun little design process blog about textile creation with a vintage sportswear twist.
Monochromatic Bedding Challenge
Process I actually made this design for the challenge from two weeks ago, but it didn’t quite pop enough for that one. However, I really loved it, so I tweaked it a bit and went for it! This design came about after my mom went walking in the field across from my house and took…
Buttercup Design Challenge

You can see I played around with a few ideas before settling in the beach scene. You might noticed the words in the shadows….
Wedding Linens Challenge

They also said “warm boho” and “ritzy glam” were trending too, but I couldn’t get a handle on those well enough to create a pattern this week. I found…
What A Wonderful World Challenge

Getting all the borders and details was a little fiddly, but it didn’t require a lot of brain power. I loved the rainbow, colorful results! Our world is a beautiful place! Yes, I definitely took some…
Sweet Dreams Bedding
I have woodland animals reaching for the stars this week! The challenge was to create a pattern that would look nice on bedding. I first drew these animals a few months ago for a lighter pattern where the animals were much smaller. See me draw them in this Timelapse video below. I took these cuties…
