Excuse the dust! I’m rebuilding Pitter Pattern from the ground up to bring it into the 21st century… Easier to navigate and packed with resources that are actually useful. That’s why things look a little bare at the moment.

If you’d like to keep up with the changes, sign up to the newsletter at the bottom of this page, and I’ll let you know when the new site is ready.

Welcome to Let’s Fly – A surface pattern design blog hop!

Hello there! Welcome to stop #38 of this amazing blog hop… Nice to see that you have made it this far! You probably have arrived here through Eli Risty’s blog, Risty Design. She’s a surface pattern designer living in Donosti (Basque Country).

If you just found the blog hop at this point and want to see all the entries, then you can head to Gill Eggleston’s blog, Pattern Addict, where the blog hop starts.

50+ designers are celebrating the start of a new year by creating this colossal surface pattern design blog hop. Each of us created a mini collection of prints based on a ‘Let’s Fly’ theme and using Pantone’s colour of the year, Emerald, so we have more than 150 gorgeous designs for you to feast your eyes on! The blog hop has been organised and curated by the lovely Rosie Martinez-Dekker from Believe Creative Studio. Thanks Rosie!

For my designs, I decided to use a little creature that gets little attention and appreciation… So, may I introduce my little friends, the flies!

You can now visit the next designer, Jacqueline van Roosmalen in the Netherlands, at her blog Colourbook Studio, where you will find some lovely little creatures waiting for you…

Thanks a lot for visiting my blog and enjoy the rest of your blog hop journey!

    I loved the literal and clever take on the subject. I am still laughing. The patterns are great and funny. The colours are obviously great too, because, as someone else from the Indigo group said, you’re a colour queen. And I found the sketches very interesting too. Congrats, dear.
