As the charming 1945 hit song written by Johnny Miller goes, “You’ve got to accentuate the positive”.
I’ve tried to do just that with this collection of geometric fabrics called (you guessed it) Accentuate the Positive now available in my shop on Spoonflower. I created this hand-drawn pattern while playing with watercolour pencils. The result is an upbeat little print that’s perfect for quilting or small home decor projects like pillows.
Have a peek at my Flaunt It collection of fabrics that I’ve just added to my shop on Spoonflower.
This collection was inspired by a day trip I took back in October to the 159th annual Rockton World Fair where I saw the most stylish poultry and pigeons imaginable. If you’d like to see some of the photos I took of these beautiful birds please click here.
I’ve been inspired to create many fabric designs based on the photographs I took that day and I’m excited to share more with you in the weeks ahead.
I’m very excited to share with you my new online fabric shop.
And I’m equally happy to say my fabrics make Mother Nature Smile because they are not mass produced. Instead they are custom digitally printed especially for you by Spoonflower the world’s first on-line print on demand textile company situated in Durham, NC. It is used by more than 200,000 individuals world-wide who want to design, sell or buy fabric.
So if you’re a quilter, crafter or sewer you can find unique fabrics you can’t buy anywhere else with:
If you make something with one of my fabrics please contact me I want to see it. I’d love to showcase your creation on this blog or my Pinterest profile.
If you’d like to learn more about Spoonflower or just curious to see their state of the art digital textile printers at work, watch this video produced for Time Warner Cable.
I’m loving this poster I found on Pinterest created by Australian company You Can’t Be Serious. With a high today of 22 degrees Celsius the grass is definitely looking greener here in Toronto. I’m going outside! Have a great weekend everyone.
I came across this poster by Kate Moore on Pinterest today and absolutely love the sentiment. It just made me stop to think how lucky I am to know so many wonderful people who make my world a beautiful place.
It’s Saturday. Let’s go outside and PLAY!

I can be a bit of a worrywart so I’ve had to say this to myself a lot lately. Funnily, if I stay in the present moment and say these words, it works.
I love rabbits and chocolate so the idea of the Easter Bunny is pure genius to me. I hope he brings you (and me too) some chocolate eggs this weekend.
Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature ridicule and deformity, and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
From a letter written by William Blake (1757 – 1827) English poet, artist
