Essentials II LookBook Released!

So, so happy!

I had so much fun creating these adorable projects for Essentials II! I hardly had time to sleep, but when you do what you love.......everything is worth it. This collection has three tonal color stories with my signature fresh, bright tones, and trendy patterns that range from innovative textures to graphic florals. Art Gallery Fabrics just released the Lookbook for my collection and it’s filled with so many inspirational FREE projects. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

I’m currently obsessed with "Mini Quilts." They are the cutest! I just had to make some for my lookbook! What do you think? I am in love with these beauties because they are the perfect home décor accessory.

But my true love is The A Surge quilt. You all know due to my constant IG posts, of this stunner. This quilt is a spectacle for any quilt lover! Make sure to check my Crafty shop when you can get your hands on this cutie's instructions.

Essentials II is all you need for spring, the hues, shapes and designs fit perfectly with the season. Can you imagine your dinner table ready for spring? I know I can. These placemats are a great way to add personality to the dinner table and will be perfect for Easter Sunday as well!

I am so thankful to see all the projects you have been sharing on Instagram, it truly motivates me to continue creating for all of you! What a great way to start spring than with Essentials II? Make sure to check out my Pinterest board with many projects ideas and more ☺

Happy sewing!

Hello Artisan!

Artisan is here!

"Capturing the expression of the maker’s heart and the objects created. Artisan is a celebration of the unstyled that links etching florals, wood carving and denim rustic textures in a handcrafted dance. It features a bohemian color palette with denim blue, lumberjack red & raw sienna as the notes that paint these textiles." 

From the moment I started designing Artisan, I knew that I will love it! And hearing the feedback I received at Spring Quilt Market with just a couple of projects and quilts at my booth, I was blown away and truly humbled. But now I can see the full effect of Artisan with the countless projects and outfits that are featured in this LookBook. I can honestly say that Artisan is perfect for both quilting and apparel, so lovelies visit your local quilt store, if you haven't yet, and get your hands on Artisan!

The versatility that Artisan have is what makes me love it even more, like I just stated, this collections works perfectly for apparel, quilting and home decor! And now lovelies, please make sure to check the #ArtisanFabrics Lookbook that the talented AGF team put together for all of you!

Etno is now available!

Hello lovelies!

The wait is over! I can finally show you some wonderful images that the talented AGF team have put together for my newest collection, Etno. Like I had explained in my Etno Inspiration post, this time around, I created a collection that captures the ethnic expression trend through a medley of etchings. Regarding the design aspect of my new collection, this is a bit of a departure from my floral lines-although it has many beautiful flowers- I am in awe with the ethnic vibe right now. It is very versatile, perfect for quilting. However, lots of the prints are great for garments as well! 

I am also very excited for my newest quilt pattern that is soon going to be for sale! My Echoes Quilt pattern will be available at Fat Quarter Shop and Craftsy. I will let you all know its availability in my social media outlets, so make sure to follow me☺

What I love about Etno is its versatility, this collection works perfectly with apparel as well as home decor. For more inspirational projects, take a look at the fantastic LookBook that the brilliant AGF team created.

Lets no forget about Etno's free pattern, "Soulful Windows" download it and share it with all of your quilting friends. 

Head over the AGF Blog for a chance to win a fat quarter bundle of Etno ☺

I am beyond thrilled with my newest collection and I hope you all like it as much as I liked creating it.

Happy sewing lovelies!

Rapture is here!

Hello lovelies!

First I want to take the time to thank you for all your amazing comments and all the love you show for me and for my work. I put great effort in creating fabric collections that will bring joy to all your projects. And it makes me truly happy to see you welcome them into your lives. This week I am also grateful because since I showed my newest collection at Quilt Market (recap here) with butterflies in my stomach. Yet, I have received such great feedback! So today I'm thrilled to announce that the  RAPTURE collection is now available!

The fabrics are inspired by one of my favorite designers, KENZO, and the watercolor style that has currently become the latest trend. The color palette has soft pastels, but yet it's bright and happy too! I'm so happy right now in my professional and personal life, so I wanted Rapture to be a reflection of this joyous time!

I designed this collection with a woman in mind. She is fearless and sophisticated. She dares to wear bold prints with bright hues of lemon, red, and blue. She loves to be raptured by the beauty in everything she sees and she wears her heart on her sleeve. 

Step into her world with my new Rapture Lookbook:

Her happy and serene world is surrounded by bright yet harmonious colors. She loves to dream in watercolor and she shares her vision through her paint brush. 

Rapture comes in two sophisticated color ways: Citric Happiness & Subtle Joy.

Citric Happiness, as the name describes, is full of citric yellows and happy corals with hints of teal, berry, and tender green.

Subtle Joy focuses on the soft sides of blue and peach, with hints of cream and mint. Both color ways embrace traces of crystal pink and black.

One of my favorite prints in this collection is Wild Beauty (in both color ways). It embodies the mood of this collection perfectly with its painted flowers, watercolor brush traces, with both bright and subtle tones and the boldness of a black. I love its versatility being great to work in all quilts, fashion, and home decor.

I haven't stopped sewing with Rapture. A lot of the projects will be FREE patterns available to you in the coming months! You can start making my FREE quilt pattern, Blissful quilt, now! You'll love making this quilt. It is easy to make and will sure bring bliss to your home (or for a loved one since the holidays are right around the corner).

Rapture is perfect for combining with all the Elements that AGF has to offer! If you want to throw in some solids to the mix, here is a list of Pure Elements that go great with Rapture:
 
PE-448 Canary, PE-435 Banana Cream, PE-444 Peach Sherbet, PE-426 Apricot Crepe. PE-450 Grapefruit, PE-438 Coral Reef, PE-405 Cherry Lipgloss, PE-446 Honeydew, PE-408 White Linen, PE-412 Tender Green, PE-424 Mirage Blue, PE-452 Spruce, PE-431 Mystic Grey, PE-413 Caviar.

And here is a list of Squared Elements that are just waiting to be combined with Rapture:

CST-3108 King's Road Turquoise, SE-613 Teal, SE-604 Seafoam, SE-609 Citrine, CST-3201 King's Road Lemon, CST-3101 King's Road Fuchsia, SE-600 Watermelon, SE-601 Rosewater, SE-614 Almondette, SE-607 Noir.

And what's even better is that I have matching threads to go along with Rapture! I've had the pleasure of working with Aurifil and coming out with my own thread collection!

The Eye Candy  Box is the perfect match when working with the soft tones of Subtle Joy!
 
The Quilting Heart Box is great to combine with the bright hues of the Citric Happiness palette. Great for quilting (of course) and sewing. So start filling your canvases with joyful projects made with Rapture!

I really hope you like my new line as much as I do, and that all these images inspire you to get stitching and create pieces you treasure and are grateful for. Stay tuned for more inspirational posts featuring Rapture! 

Love,
