From the first preview on her blog, I was smitten with Echo by Lotta Jansdotter. It's crisp, fresh, organic, bold, earthy, modern and awesome!! I bought mine from The Intrepid Thread. Julie was so clever to pair it with some coordinating solids. They are all so gorgeous together.
Lotta Prints by Lotta Jansdotter |
Earlier this year I attended Lotta's printing workshop in Palm Springs, Ca. I had so much fun making a stencil and printing my own fabric. Lotta is such a talented and inspiring lady. At the workshop, she encouraged us to focus on simple shapes, inspired by everyday things. That's what I love about Echo. The motifs are simple and yet so stylish. On the way out, I shyly asked her to sign my book. She smiled a big smile and said (as only Lotta can), "Of course!"

That'll look great in Echo! I love all the colors of this line and the prints feel down to earth and sophisticated at the same time.

ReplyDeleteI impulse bought some 10" squares and 2.5" strips of Echo the other day. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, I just keep getting it out and gazing at it lovingly.
