Terri Fry Kasuba Does Patterns

For use on textiles, stationery, clothing & wall paper, among other things, patterns can be quite interesting and fun. Terri Fry Kasuba's launch into this repetitive world has been, from our perspective, a wonderful and new approach. With a humorous and sometimes juvenile twist, she's succeeded in putting her own stamp on all of her new pieces.
