What a week it's been here at Kristopher K!
I've been a little quiet here on the blog, due to some really exciting developments regarding the future of "Kristopher K' fabrics, that are now underway. I look forward to sharing this news with you all in the coming weeks and months, however, in the meantime ... I would like to thank the following websites for the features below ;)

Have you seen the Busy Bee's Blog full of wonderful images of design, decoration and photography? 

I'm a big fan, so it was a lovely to see their post:

Floral Inspired Friday

What a wonderful surprise I have to share with you all to-day! 

The lovely Rosie, of The Fabric Shopper has just posted on her inspiring blog, some fantastic photos of her beautiful new summer skirt.
Rosie has designed an amazing, long, layered, shabby chic, bohemian skirt with fabulous raw serged edges with my Fabric Design:

Magnolia Little Gem - Sage - 2 Yard Panel

If you have yet to visit Rosie's blog and like me, love all things fabric - I recommend you "click" on over to The Fabric Shopper Blog and say Hello :)

- I just adore seeing what people are making from my Fabric Designs!

And in other news this week from Spoonflower:

The base colour of the beautiful Organic Cotton Sateen will change to a whiter white ... I believe this will help to minimise any colour shifts that can occur when printing on an off-white base fabric. - "Starting with orders placed on Friday, March 26, we'll be printing on the new, white organic sateen rather than the off-white, natural sateen." 

and Im also very excited about the launch of a brand new Spoonflower fabric option: Cotton Lawn 

- I can't wait to get my hands on some of this new fabric - as soon as I have some actual samples, I'll post photos and let you know what I think - YAY

Cotton Lawn, optic white:

Have a wonderful flower filled friday, and a fabulous weekend,
Cheers Kris
