The shining

Come and play with us Danny …for ever, and ever, and ever... Back to patterns... Today's MSCE is a quickie, and has probably been done 100s of times before... Anyway, here's a tribute to my #1 fave film of all time - Kubrick's The Shining, a pattern I've wanted to create and have at hand for ages. For anyone who's not seen the film (woah?) it's the classic corridor carpet design from the Overlook Hotel Another one outta my system
