Fabric Elements Creative Challenge

Did you catch us on Periscope last night?! If so, you were not only able to see what wonderful projects were created, but you also got to be the first to know about our Fabric Elements Creative Challenge!

What is Fabric Elements?

Fabric Elements, a pre-cut line of fabrics designed by Rebekah Meier for mixed media collages will be set in Joann Fabric and Craft stores on September 1, 2015. (Update: It has been added to select Michael’s stores! Is your store on the list?) This product line won the “Hot New Product” award at this year’s Craft and Hobby Mega (CHA) Show in the fabric & needlecraft category.  Fabric Elements is made up of 32 products, and includes 9 fabric substrates, 4 banners, flags and tags, 12 cotton fabric squares (known as fat quarters, as they are a quarter yard of fabric), 6 embellishments including three stencils, tissue paper, and lace trims, and 3 kits. Additionally, the product line will launch with an exclusive step-by-step instruction book “Techniques in Mixed Media” which showcases 12 collage techniques developed by artist, Rebekah Meier.

You can visit this blog post, here, to see all the pretty Fabric Elements pictures and learn more about the collection.
