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?

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.

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.
