In The Beginning Fabrics - Patterns by Laurie Shifrin Designs

Laurie Shifrin feels fortunate to live in the lush Pacific Northwest, where her love for colors and textures found in nature is constantly fed and nurtured. Although she enjoyed her former career as a professional violinist, this phase of Laurie’s life has been the most creative and rewarding.

Laurie has authored three books, using primarily batiks. The latest, Batik Gems, is with C&T Publishing. Her pattern company, Laurie Shifrin Designs, showcases 19 new designs.
