I found Rashida through Twitter several months ago (Twitter is such a *great* place to meet local folks!) and found out not only is she from Atlanta (yay!!), she is a super talented lady with one craft book under her belt (I Love Patchwork) that is Zakka inspired (a girl after my own heart) and another one on the way, and she is also in the process of designing her own fabric line! How exciting, right?
When I was thinking of Guests to post on my blog, I knew I wanted to share some local Atlanta talent with you, and Rashida so kindly agreed! She has created a super-cute Fabric Desktop Calendar Tutorial for you! You can download it here.
She used the new and amazing Ruby Star Rising Fabric Collection from Kokka by Melody Miller (also an Atlanta native!) for this project and is so graciously offering to giveaway 3 Fat Quarters to YOU! : ) Just leave a comment and you will be entered to win.
Here's a peek at Rashida's book and also of stike-offs of her new fabric line. Super cute robots! She also has some really cute free tutorials on her blog (see her righthand sidebar). I thought the little change purse was so cute.
Thanks Rashida!
Wow, I really like that fabric desk calendar! It's really cute. Thanks for the inspiration! <3

I love the desk calendar! So cute, I can keep it all to myself or I can use it with my kiddos to reinforce months, day of the week and number concepts!
