So Charming: Nancy Straughan Hand Printed Textiles

Nancy-straughan printed textiles 2

From time to time an email will land in my inbox that makes me drop what I'm doing, abandon my scheduled blog post, and share something with you immediately. (I think it's the 21st century equivalent of yelling, 'Stop the presses!') This is one of those occasions. Illustrator and textile designer Nancy Straughan just reached out to tell me about her creations. Holy wow!

I'm utterly, completely, 100% captivated and smitten by these fabrics. A relatively recent art school graduate, Nancy has already made a name for herself in England not only with her textile designs but also with fashion styling, printmaking, bookbinding, the whole gamut of clever creative brilliance. (Plus she's adorable. Check out her bio!)

I can only imagine how soft these fabrics are. Don't you want to reach through your screen and touch them? The breadth of Nancy's line is especially lovely–from the brightly colored triangles, perfect for a child's room, to the softer and more subtle prints–there's something for every time and place. Mark my words: Nancy Straughan is one to watch!
