Pattern Inspiration — Cicada Studio
11/24/2008I already love Cicada Studio's 2009 fabric calendar, but I recently discovered that Cicada Studio also has a line of beautiful textiles. These fun linen fabrics would be great as backing for invitations or used as table runners for a wedding. Here are a few of my favorite patterns:






You can check out more of these beautiful textiles right here at Cicada Studio.
