Habitat Challenge

I am really excited about the Habitat Challenge.  Free Spirit has graciously donated Jay McCarroll's new fabric to the Modern Guilds, and we are so lucky to be receiving some.

Check out this great 2 part interview Jay did with True Up.  So interesting to read more about the design process from Jay himself.

More info will be discussed at our meeting tomorrow night. Stay tuned for details!
