For the love of old books, I love my copy of the Journals of Louisa May Alcott.
One of the prints inside this amazing book is a print of Orchard House dated 1838. I created a calendar design in fabric for 2011 with this inspiration.
I took the image and hid her in the hot air balloon,
and of course I put one in the moon.
The words read:
There was a story in the moon, and the forest waited patiently for the play to begin.
The trees were created using Vintage objects and digitally painted, they dance along the border at the bottom of the fabric. If you click on the image below you will see what it looks like in fabric. I created a centered image and printed a fat quarter in linen-canvas for my wall hanging.
This fabric design has a melody of coordinates in my calendar collection.
I created this one below so that the seamstresses extraordinaire can make matching tea towels.
Perhaps this one below might make a cute apron.
I am a pillow addict, so this one below centered might make a lovely pillow.
This fabric is available for sale in my Spoonflower Gallery.
The song for this post is Moonlight.
Your post reminded me of my Mother. She bought a linen calendar every year and then used them as kitchen towels. I love your story in the moon......
