Hi all! I'm like a lot of you, designing fabric and printing it for your own personal designs to come to life. It's so much fun. I'm older, 57, and gone back to school to learn a lot and finish my accounting degree. I always get sidetracked by art classes. Now with Photoshop and Corel, I know which way my hobby is going. I buy antique and vintage postcards that are in the public domain and I clean them up, if needed, and even repaint them. I then get them printed on cotton, quilting weight, and make presents. I love the faces of friends when I have made them something they like and all. It makes me feel good. I also like putting designs together for the first child's crib or stroller blanket. Lots of vintage designs to put on 44" wide fabric and have fun with.
