The purple and pearls is way too cute!

Oooooh, I think we're all in trouble! Calling alum, our resident quilting pro: There are over 30 pages of owls, several key and fleur-de-lis ones, and a few irises. Man, oh, man, oh, man!
Love your Alpha Xi fabric, DubaiSis--you are very clever. I also like the Tri Sigma one that the designer said she made for letters--it is very clever, too. |
I'd like to know what platforms others use. I used Publisher, and had to spend FOREVER getting that quill right. The piece still needs some work, but I am a quilter and in the forever search for the perfect fat quarter, so I may actually order mine. Then I can put it up for sale! Wouldn't that be fun?
eta/ Oh, and speaking of owls, I am a secret shopper for Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids, and they have the cutest owl pencil holder at PBK. I've been meaning to mention that for a couple weeks now. |
I would love to just take the simple pink quatrefoil and use it as a repeating pattern...nothing fancy.

Get on their mailing list so you can get a free swatch. I chose http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/253127. The blue was medium dull on my computer monitor but it is actually very bright. I haven't tested it yet for colorfastness but I will before I use it.
This would be great for people who want mini-motifs to be scaled small enough for stitched block letters. I have a lot of designs in mind but don't know how to execute them onto a computer program. |
And even though $18 per yard is expensive by quilting standards (most high-quality cottons are around $10/yd), it's no worse than buying college boxers or lounge pants items at the university bookstore as a couple of my clients have done.

OK, I made 2 for Phi Mu because the quatrefoil lends itself so well to small prints.

In my neck of the woods, nobody jumps out and talks about sorority membership as a young professional, so I am always looking for things that hint at it without saying it. Like, if you saw someone wearing this, you would know, but not everybody would know. |
Since I'd have no need to purchase this on my own, if you want the sample, let me know. Maybe we can work something out. Next I think I'll try something with crescent moons.

Hmmm . . .think brown, pink, waxing crescent and perhaps a pink carnation . . . :) |
OK, I REALLY have to get back to work, but I thought I'd take a shot at Gamma Phi next. 4 variations on a theme. I think I like 2 and 4 the best. Sorry they're so big!

OK, I really have to stop, but here are 4 more Alpha Xi prints, although I've clipped some smaller pieces to publish.

DubaiSis, your designs are GREAT! i wonder what you could do for an AOII design?
|
I love all those prints SO much more than anything I saw on the Lilly site. Simple is good!
