There was an article in last month's vogue about Virginia Lee Burton, children's book author and illustrator who also founded the Folly Cove Design Collective. I love the folksy block prints.
I read that article too. I have been terribly interested in the old-school style of print fabrics and found the article fascinating. I always like reading about women achieving such great success in the 1930's/40's. (when women were more likely to be "in their place" in the kitchen and so on)
And, gosh, wasn't she so striking? Such a pretty woman.
Yay! Your gonna reach out to me! I am so excited. I have tried to make commenting here easy for both of us. So please try your hardest to read the squiggly letters so I can chat with you.
Oh- she wrote/illustrated the Little House book?? I love her designs.
