This has already taught me things I didn’t know!

Oh fabulous! Pinterest is such a valuable tool. I do spend too much time looking at all of the lovely things though!

I promised I would tell you about Laurel Burch. One of my favourite designers, probably my all time favourite, she passed away in 2007, and with her passing, all production of her fabric designs ceased. Finding her…

I love Laurel Burch designs which I first came across in San Francisco & San Diego in the v early 2000’s. I bought scarves, T shirts, greetings cards, calendars, mugs etc. I have acquired some vintage fabric pieces now, and more recently purchased some of the new lines being revived by her daughter.
-
Amazing designer and artist, and one I’d never heard of before. Thank you for introducing her to us, and so glad her designs will be being produced again.
-
I wasn’t a fan, purely because I didn’t know of her; but I am now, thank you!
-
I love Laurels cat designs. I’ve got one of her handbags and was lucky enough to find a fabric panel in the charity shop earlier this year.
