  2. Her designs have a nice retro-yet-classic feel - very balanced. Great for lots of fun projects!! Michelle and I have become acquainted through our parallel paths - she is a wildly talented designer, with energy to match - she's one to watch for sure!

  4. Well, this is a double treat!

    Print and Pattern is my favorite blog. Always full of unbelievable inspiration, which I thank you for! And I am a regular reader of Michelle's blog, where I am also continually inspired as she shares the evolution of her beautiful textile designs. Wonderful to see that she is getting the recognition that she so truly deserves!
