Jackie Von Tobel’s fabric line, including these darling pillows. The dog is NOT for sale!!!
This week we have ANOTHER give away at the Skirted Roundtable HERE! Our guest is Jackie Von Tobel, artist, interior and fabric designer, and author. Jackie is also a blogger – which is where the four of us met. All of us started our blogs at about the same time, except for Linda who started HER blog ages and ages ago, Linda is the grandmother of design bloggers. For the past three years, Jackie has been very busy writing two huge reference books on window treatments and bedding HERE. She was gracious enough to offer her two books for the giveaway. The contest ends tomorrow night, so if you haven’t already entered, be sure to go to the Skirted Roundtable HERE and read the instructions.
I love these pictures of Jackie’s home studio, where she writes, draws the illustrations for her books, and creates her fabric line. What a neat and organized artist!
While you are entering the contest, be sure to listen to the interview. Jackie is a fascinating woman, full of a joie de vie that most of us only dream about!!! She is highly inspiring and I think you will be very motivated after listening to all she has accomplished in her life. She’s an incredible person and the three of us were left a little exhausted after talking with her!!!
My favorite fabric from Jackie’s line is this one – Birds and Braches in Coffee. Jackie CLAIMS she designed this fabric with me in mind!! Sure, Jackie!!!!
Tomorrow is the last day to enter the giveaway – so hurry!!! Go HERE to listen to the interview and leave your contest comments there. Please do NOT leave your contest entry comments on this blog, Cote de Texas! All entries MUST be left on the Skirted Roundtable blog or you won’t be eligible!!!!
Jackie asked that I add this information about her collaboration with Minutes Matter:
If you heard my recent interview on The Skirted Roundtable or read some of my posts about design software you may be interested in learning more about how my designs are used in STUDIO graphic design software. My friend Merlin (yes, that is her real name) who is the official wizard over at Minutes Matter and I would like to cordially invited you to attend a FREE, 30 minute webinar sponsored by Minutes Matter Solutions on Thursday, March 4 at 1 PM Eastern. You’ll see Merlin use Studio, our graphic design program, to translate the fabulous draperies and valances from my book, The Design Directory of Window Treatments into elevation renderings filled with fabrics, colors, and textures. These complete designs can also be broken apart quickly and mixed and matched for an infinite variety of styles. Never be stumped again how to treat your client’s windows – watch how easy it is to drag and drop these beautifully illustrated images to create drawings that your clients will want show their friends.
