I'm heading to Nashville today to speak to the Middle Tennessee chapter of the WCAA and then it's off to High Point for some home furnishings industry fun. This is my idea of a very good time!!!
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 Merlyn (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.

I’ve got some shameless self promoting to do this month to promote several seminars I will be giving in Atlanta, Charlotte and Las Vegas. If you’d like to come meet me in person and learn a few things about window treatments and emerging trends in interior design for 2010 here are the details of my appearances for March.
First, I was thrilled to be asked to be interviewed by some of my favorite bloggers, Joni Webb, Linda Merrill, and Megan Arquette for their fantastic blog The Skirted Roundtable! We did the interview last night and I had so much fun I forgot what I said! I’ll have to listen to it myself to see what I talked about! You can listen to the interview at The Skirted Roundtable later this week.
They are raffling off one copy of my book, The Design Directory of Window Treatments, and one copy of my new book, The Design Directory of Bedding so get on over there and sign up to win!!!
Next, I’ll be the featured speaker at the Las Vegas World Market Design Centers First Friday event on March 5 at 10:00 am. Here is a brief description of the topic:
Design Trends 2010
Bestselling author, product designer and blogger Jackie Von Tobel brings you the latest trends in interior design straight from the winter Heimtextile, IMM Cologne and Maison et Objet interior trends tradeshows. Join Jackie as she gives you a visual tour of these influential shows and breaks down the emerging trends in color, style and design for 2010.
Then I’m off to Atlanta for the DWC Spring event. See the full post about it here.
