I'm at the Window Fashions Expo in Atlanta, GA to see what's new in window fashion design and technology and there's pleanty to look at. The show is not as crowded as in past years due to the economy but that hasn't kept forward thinking companies from putting their best foot forward to show their new and exciting offereings for this year.

Pate Meadows is a fantastic pattern company known for their unique design style and terrific use of pattern. They have introduced four new patterns that appeal to the modern aesthetic of pared down, siplified style. I love the new designs and the fascinating way they are put together. Sometimes simplicity can really be brilliant.

Of course Minutes Matter & Studio are here promoting the new 3.0 Studio release with all of it's enhanced features and functionality. They're also doing a great job selling the Jackie Von Tobel design modules and my book. What a great group of people! I am so fortunate to have become part of their oprganization.
