I’m so excited to share with you the next adventure for my “Girl Friends” fabric collection. You may remember, I started drawing one of the girls as a ballerina when I was eight or nine. So, it was only natural that the next journey for the girls would be ballerina dancers.  I’ve always had an admiration for ballerina dancers and gymnasts. I recently asked a Julliard graduate (now a teacher)  if it was too late for me to pursue ballet. She kindly replied it wasn’t . . . although, I know better. Instead, I’ll happily live through my girls in this fabric collection. This fabric collection starts shipping to stores in February.

I’m so happy to share with you my new line of fabric, “Girl Friends.” The inspiration behind this line comes from my closest friends, a group of five girls. We live in different cities, but each year we get together. New memories are formed and adventures are shared, just like my new line Girl Friends. Their first adventure . . . mermaids.

There’s seven main characters of the collection, each with their own little personality.

I started drawing this girl when I was eight or nine years old. I would draw her over and over in my sketch pad. She was a ballerina, always wore her hair in a bun and loved the color pink. It’s such a sweet feeling to see her on fabric.
