About the photographer: We first featured Holly Stewart's beautiful photography in the Britex Fabrics Calendar for 1995. These soft, subtle images were the inspiration for the design of our new website, ShopBritexNotions.com, and we are thrilled to feature her work on each of the site's main pages.
