taali in action

I love the weeks after we release a new collection, because I often will get emails from customers sharing what they've made with the fabric. Over the last couple of weeks I've gotten some amazingly cute photos of Taali items, and I thought I'd share some with you. First up are some adorable short sets from Owl and Hedgehog, of Tauranga, New Zealand:






Jo from Monkeys in my Pocket emailed me with photos of her Taali quilt, and I just love it. I'm amazed at how many crafty Australians I've met in this business! Must be something in the water there - I'll have to visit.


My first real design job was as a toy designer for Manhattan Toy in Minneapolis, so I always think that someday I'll make some cute soft toys with Monaluna fabrics. Well, I got an email from teddy bear artist Jenny Smith, and she's been doing just that! She sent me this photo of her new creation Lowry, using Taali trees:


Finally, I got a really nice New Year's message from Katerina of Modern Patchwork in Slovakia, the winner of our Taali fat quarter giveaway in December. In (what I consider to be) record time, she used the fat quarter bundle to whip up this baby quilt for her son:


Thanks, guys, for sharing the photos with me, and for your creativity and inspiration!
