They sent 2 swatches of fabric and we were to create a block that focused on colour. The fabric sent was Too Muchery by Helen Dardik shown below.
I created 2 cushions/pillows and the tutorial for the Dresden one is in Issue 7 of Fat Quarterly - Designer Challenge.

ReplyDeleteWow Fiona congratulations on your feature in Fat Quarterly I am really impressed, both cushions are beautiful. You are so talented. Rx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillows! Just found your blog and your work is wonderful. Thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! I always thought of that design to be a bit too old fashion... and I know there are lots of old designs that are being "revamp" by only using new fabric designs, but I thought the dresden had no hope in the contemporary world... how wrong I was! and yours are a prime example!
