Congratulations on your fabric line! That’s such an amazing adventure. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of your prints. The florals are just superb and I absolutely love the sewing machines.

First, l love watercolors, and your initial flowers are so pretty. The program used to develop your prints looks like fun, once you understand it. Wow, a fabric line with Riley Blake...woohoo!

I wishhhh I could get the florals on any type of fabric lol . I have 2 of the floral ones on jersey though. :)

absolutely amazing ! just came across your video tutorial - can you do a class on Skillshare - covering this in more detail - I love your overview and while there are how to classes elsewhere - I love how you explain how you double check a repeat (genius); and how and why you scale vs type of fabric - I do art/learning surface pattern - thank you :) - fyi: lack of classes in the background to pattern design and real world stuff - thank you :)

Hello! Thanks for sharing this helpful video, I was wondering if you could share, where do you send the designed images? I’m looking for an inexpensive company to do that.
Thank you!
