fluro





It is really hard to capture the intensity of this colour in a photograph. Let's just say it's highly visible. Last night I showed my boys the new 'winter nest' print in fluorescent orange on cream hemp/organic cotton and they loved it. Jack immediately asked me to make him something with it. We talked through the possibilities... a bear, a zip purse, a quilt. His eyes lit up at the thought of a quilt. 
So instead of sleeping, I stayed up late and watched a movie while cutting and sewing this for my boy. Today I will iron it and then put the backing on.
