Featured 'LILL Girl' - Meet Summer!

This month's featured LILL Girl is someone who is a frequent LILL on Location Party attendee and describes herself as "LILL obsessed!". She has a great talent for mixing and matching LILL fabrics and creating darling custom LILL Bags. Her knowledge and enthusiasm of 1154 LILL is what makes her a true LILL Loyalist!

Meet Summer K. from Dayton, Ohio
LILL Girl since 2007

Let's get to know Summer!

Special hobbies or activities you enjoy doing?
"Planning healthy meals with my husband, running, knitting, and designing LILL bags online."

Fun fact!
"I sang with a college group on the Welsh equivalent of the Tonight Show. We also got to sing in a Scottish cathedral during the trip! But the best part was the Welsh elementary students who thought we were famous Americans. When we posed for a picture with them they serenaded us with Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time"."

What began your love for LILL?
"My sister Kate gave me an Amy and a $25 LILL gift card for my 30th birthday last July! It hasn't even been a full year and I'm hooked!"

How many LILL Bags do you own?
"Five…and dreaming."

What's your favorite LILL handbag style?
"It's really a toss up between HADLEY and DREA. I can't pick just one!"

Top 3 fabric picks:
Jacobean Floral, Hula Girl, Posie Patch

If you were queen of LILL for a day, what would you do?
"I would spend a day in one of the stores and help shoppers design fabulous creations! I love spreading the word about how fabulous the whole concept is and what fun it is to design your own handbags. What better place to do it than in the store where they can see the fabrics and some of the finished products!"

It was great getting to know you, Summer! We enjoyed your post and look forward to creating with you again real soon.
