Virginia Kraft Textiles




I found these wonderful hand blocked textiles 
while I was searching Instagram.  They were  created by Andrea Whalen..

Her company is named after her Grandmother, Virginia Kraft.







I've always loved hand blocked fabric..

I would love to try making my own one day.












I love this one!

Wouldn't it be cute in a children's room.





Virginia Kraft can be found here.


 A percentage of all sales go to The Virginia Kraft Fund which helps underprivileged children in her community participate in music, sports and the arts.

My son came home on Saturday and hes doing well. He started an outpatient P.T. program and someone has to be with him at all times. He has a long road ahead of him and one more surgery. I'm sure he's going to be going through a lot of different emotions and frustrations and so are we. But, were flowing with it!

I use to tell my kids all the time..when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

 And that's what were going to do!

Thanks for stopping by,
Julie

  10. Those are gorgeous I too have always loved hand blocked fabrics, thanks for the intro. Thank you also for the update on your son, so happy he is making progress even if it feels slow going. On lesser scale we have had the same but I know all about the emotions attached to a such a scary accident. Good luck as you get through this next stage and best of luck to him.
