Orna's Design Adventure

Orna's Silky Safari

Orna Willis says she gets lots of questions about how she creates her colorful geometric designs, so she has decided to start explaining. Here's Part One.

By the way, she has posted a new tartan-inspired design on her blog.

If you have not visited Orna's website recently, it's time.  She has been busy adding new designs, stitching old favorites in new colors, and adding past seminar classes (like Silky Safari in the photo above) to her available designs and kits.  In person her things are gorgeous.  The vibrant colors in the photographs do not convey the liveliness, movement and dimension her designs have in person.
