Frances Newcombe Motto: “Don’t worry about making the perfect block – just enjoy the process. “
Visit France’s blog today to see the cute mini she has made using the ‘Sewing nut’ block.
Frances is a talented illustrator and motion graphic artist. This little squirrel is one of Fran’s inspirational paintings for her block today.
I was very blessed to team up with Frances last year to design our first collection – Manderley – with Moda. Fran is so much fun to work with. Listen to our interview with Pat Sloan.
