Now, it's time for everyone's favorite part of our monthly "portrait of a designer" series. Val told us all about how her two, adorable young daughter's inspired her latest fabric collection Cocoon (
26 cotton,
7 linen and
7 voile SKUs, delivering in April). Then our blog tutorial diva, Melissa Peda, gave us some awesome inspriation with her
Easy Peasy Pillows. Valori also offered a handy
shopping tote project, perfect for doing your part to save the planet.
Now, the moment you all love so much. It's time to share the beauty and vibrancy of Valori's Cocoon collection. According to her, "For myself as an artist I feel like I am coming out of a cocoon. Finding my path and my balance with my work, my family and myself."
How do you find balance in your life? Does your quilting and sewing give you the needed relief from reality and send you into a creative, stress-free world? Tell us about how your sewing helps you tranform your life or the lives of other, much like a butterfly emerging from its Cocoon. Two commenators will be chosen at random to win six, one yard cuts from each substrate -- 2 for Cotton, 2 for Linen and 2 for Voile (that's six total if my math is correct)! Winner's will be announced here on Monday, April 30.
