mrr design

I am very excited to be on a quasi-vacation,

from the office, that is....

got lots of work ahead me for mrr design.

Check out my new fabrics.

Anyone with a fabric fetish like me knows about purlsoho.

Purl has a beautiful website with delicious yarns and fabrics.

Cake Rock Beach, pictured above, was designed by Joelle Hoverson, the founder of Purl.

Here is my expanded faux bois collection. 

I highlighted the maple and rosewood last week.

The pink pine, fushcia and light pink, are fabulous. 

I was so excited when they arrived - all the way from Nebraska and Oregon. 

and the red cane (not quite faux bois, but ...) 

Remember Good & Plenty candy?

that is the name of the two middle fabrics pictured below.

Can you just taste the old-fashioned soft and chewy licorice candy, 

first made in 1893!

The other two dots are fun.

The elongated dots on the right remind me of the 

 double oo in the word look

that my daughter would color to look like eyes

when she was young. 

Isabel's relatives thought it was very funny 

when they received a thank you note with the 

colored-in look eyes.

Wish i could manipulate the computer to color the oos

 

fancy fruit will make great frames with pink or brown saddle stitch ribbon

and my geometrics 

The fabric on the right is by Anna Maria Horner

called

up all night garden party

Was she up all night designing with all the colors of her garden swirling in her head?

some handsome damask and some very mod damask 

busy few weeks ahead 

stay tuned for lots of new frames

I always order too much fabric;

too many choices for my customers.

But I can't resist.

Still more to come from Heather Bailey,

who has a wonderful new collection.

ps.  i almost forgot - today is a very good day

8-8-08

A very good number, 

so lucky that the Chinese changed the Olympics to start today,

precisely at 8:08 pm on 8-8-08.

something about those double oos - 

around and around - no end - continuous loop

great if it's a loop of good fortune!

I think there is a lot of good karma in the loop.

 enjoy
