Friday Confession

We've talked about fashion designers before, but how about FABRIC designers? I'm actually starting to recognize some names and some styles...

There's Amy Butler, of course:


And Alexander Henry:


And Robert Kaufman:

These are some of the fabric designers that I like. How about you? Do you have any favorite fabric designers? Have you recently stumbled across someone new that you think we should know about? Do you browse sites like Spoonflower or Etsy for fresh new fabric designs? Have you ever tried your hand at designing fabric? I'm looking forward to learning about new fabric designers and new sites for fabric! :)

Lol, my one attempt at using Spoonflower was a result of winning one of your blog giveaways! :D

I do like Amy Butler's designs. Though honestly, I generally don't pay attention to fabric designers too much, since they often tend to focus on quilting cottons (which I almost never use, except for bags) and I'm more of a clothes girl. So I just choose my fabrics based on whether I like the print/colors, regardless of who makes them.

I don't have a favorite fabric designer. In fact, I don't think I've purchased any from fabric designers.
