2016 Umbrella Prints Trimmings Challenge #umbrellaprintstrimmingschallenge

WELCOME TO THE 2016 Umbrella Prints Trimmings Challenge.  
We are so excited to be here again this 7th year running & super encouraged by your enthusiasm!

This is a unique challenge where you have the opportunity to create & share something different and wonderful from the little pieces of our printed fabric we call Trimmings. We are looking for work by designers, artists, quilters, makers, tinkers, film makers, animators, children, professionals, thinkers and you!

This year we again have the absolute pleasure of having the input of two judges who will lend their insight & creative eye to help choose our winners;

thank you to Amanda Blake Soule of SouleMama & Ellie Beck of Petalplum :)
