Preppy Lemon

Calico Cottage

Lemon Tile Dress

I'm in love with the surface pattern design of this summery maxi dress! It reminds me of my Turkish Tile design combined with my Preppy Lemon collection in the works. This dress would look right at home inside the Museo Franz Mayer in Mexico City, which is loaded with stunningly vibrant decorative arts pieces and vignettes.

The Preppy Lemon

Right now I'm working on a surface pattern design collection of treillage-tastic lemon-filled delight! 

Vintage Lemonade Dress

Yellow has always been my favourite colour, so my heart skipped a beat when I found this confection:

I took this pale lemon beauty home with me from a church rummage sale for a mere $3! $3!!! Take note of the double peter pan collar, the delicate pin tucks, the sleeve construction, the fine gathered waist, and the embroidered stripes on the skirt. Such charming attention to detail. Judging by the style it is from the 1950s.

I certainly hope the tiny lovely lady who wore it back in the day went to picnics and drank lemonade in it!

Blueberry Lemon Tea Towel

Here is my Blueberry Lemon Muffins design in this week's Spoonflower challenge featuring Mom's Recipe Tea Towels. I was inspired by my memories of eating my mom's luscious blueberry lemon muffins on our blue china plates, so that's where the idea for the blue and yellow combination came from. It's not a color scheme I would usually work with, but I absolutely love it! It's just so fresh. The recipe, by the way, is the real deal, in case you are hungry for some fruity baked good heaven. I plan on turning the border illustrations into a full fabric design as soon as possible.
