Today, Stephanie Troutner is in our Designer Spotlight, talking with AFB and founder Jenny Morgan about designing through A Fresh Bunch and more.

 

Jenny: It was fun to welcome Stephanie Troutner as a member, as her designs get their start in life as embroidery.  Having a bit of a weakness for embroidery, I love seeing how something that started in one medium makes its way on to the page as a full blown pattern.  Read on for more about Stephanie!

 

AFB:  What’s your Favorite Project you’ve worked on with AFB?

Stephanie:  My Favorite Project that I’ve worked on so far is designing for the AFB Art Marketplace.

 

AFB:  Design(s) You’re Most Proud of that you’ve done for AFB to-date?

Stephanie:  The designs that I’m most proud of up to this point are patterns I’ve created for the Art Marketplace.

More About Stephanie

 

AFB: Do you have a Favorite Celebration?

Stephanie:   Yes, the 4th of July is my favorite celebration.  I love blueberry pie, fireworks and the red, white and blue color scheme!  I suspect my love of these things has something to do with being born the year of the USA-Bicentennial 🙂
