Studio | Sneak Peek

Last summer I started to play around with designing fabrics, which has always been a dream of mine. 
Life was a little hectic and busy and I put the project on the back burner for some time.
Well, I finally ordered my fabric samples and they are fabulous, better than I imagined.
The designs still need a little tweaking before I make them available for purchase,
but the possibilities are endless and I can't wait to develop this collection.

I'm inspired to reupholster a little bench that I have in my bedroom and I'm finding it's so hard to choose!
As I explore this new line, I thought I'd ask you, my dearest readers, do you have a favorite 
painting of mine that you would like to see as a fabric and what would you make with it?

so wonderful Holly. I like your ferns very much, the way you show the whole thing, tuber and all.
Your silouttes too, wouldn't they make an unusual fabric?

I would love to make a 50's style dress out of either the nest or bord print. These really are amazing Holly! Can you tell us where you had them printed? x

It's hard to pick one, but the feather your nest No. 39 is my favorite. I would make drapes, re-upholster a bench or slipcover a ottoman. I can imagine all of these is my 1st grandchild room. (due this July)

Your black swan or wild hare would make great pillow covers.

holly aka golly said...
