Greeting Card – February 2020
Hello February!
The winter is in full bloom, and it’s been really cold here in the Northeast.

My first fabric collection “Floret Geometric”
Having my own fabric collection was always a dream of mine.
Beautiful fabrics combine everything I love – gorgeous colors for the eyes, softness to the touch and imaginative or playful motifs for the soul.
