Introduction
In the digital world of today, playing with designs on a computer that hosts an array of different applications (such as photoshop etc) one can easily create new fabric designs. There are companies, such as Spoonflower, which can then recreate the designs on an array of different fabrics for functional use (e.g. tablecloths, napkins and dresses) to create more Indie clothing selections and/or for artistic expression - see for example - My Fabric Collection: "Oh, Oh Marilyn and Mona!"@Spoonflower. The digital world allows our imaginations to run wild and so if by design or by accident we create a design that inspires us as well as others - so be it!

Now is the right time to remember the inspiration that Kristi O'Meara tried to document in her book and so why not look at her contribution to the world of abstract geometric designs.
