My Favorite Designer, Laurel Burch

I have long been an admirer of Laurel Burch. If you are unfamiliar with her work, please check out her website. Her story is amazing! Be sure to watch the video. She is no longer with us, having died of a bone disease, osteopetrosis, at the age of 61. But her work will go on. Not only is her work beautiful but her philosophy of her craft is inspiring.

You will find her designs on just about anything from coffee cups to handbags. I am especially fond of her line of wonderful fabric with themes like the jungle, the ocean, of course, her Fantastic Felines. 

Right now I am working on a set of towels and pillowcases, using a special set of Christmas embroideries by Laurel Burch. 

The most recognizable theme is her Felines, but she also uses Mythical Horses, Blossoms, Butterflies Dogs and People.

These are just 2 pieces of my well-worn and well loved pieces.
