Elegant Elephant Paisley: Bora wins another fabric design contest!
Dutch illustrator Deborah van de Leijgraaf (Bora) wins her fifth Fabric Of the Week contest with a charming spin on our paisley design challenge: "Fun bathtime for little Elley".
For the record, Bora has previously won our Cats, Kawaii, Masks, and Windows & Doors contests. Be sure to stop by her blog (which she is kind enough to publish in English) to admire some of her great photos of fabric projects. Her big win happens to coincide with her son's 4th birthday!
