Wednesday, the lovely Martha of Design Trade Magazine graciously spent the afternoon showing me around the Denver Design Center. It was pure heaven for this aspiring fabric designer. She showed me some of the most beautiful fabrics being made today, and told me how they’re made, what they’re called (crewel, anyone?), and what different artists are known for. We perused, felt, and Oooo-ed over fabrics by Pierre Frey, Nobilis, Clarence House, and many, many others. I do believe my two favorites are Christopher Hyland and Pollack. All kinds of mouth-watering, patterny, fabricy goodness. [Libby passes out.]
