skinny lamix

 

 

skinny laminx fat quarters are the latest screen printed fabrics to hit the shelves at nido. South African illustrator and designer Heather Moore has a keen eye for modern prints, using fresh colors to compliment her textiles. Screen printed on cotton/linen blends, the fabric itself lends itself well to pillows, aprons, sweet zipper pouches and kitchen towels.

sweet summer vacation

After a full summer of splashing in pools, soccer, long walks in the woods and late night popsicle runs, we finally decided to pack up  and head into the woods for a truly relaxing vacation. Words can not describe how it felt  to unplug from all technology and kick back with my guys. One of the many highlights was watching Franco and his  friends play in their hooded capes. I had made Franco his over a year ago from Meg McElwee’s book, “Growing Up Sew Liberated” and at the very last minute Rochelle was kind enough to whip up a couple for the girls.
