Cloudbirds in Goldenfinch, Blue Sky, Cardinal, and Apple
These fabrics are a home decorator weight. They are professionally screen printed on a cotton/linen blend base cloth and is suitable for clothing, upholstery, curtains, and ... quilts, of course. Heather has a wonderful eye for color and a design style that cleverly combines a Scandinavian aesthetic with African flora and fauna.
Orla in Strawberry, Fog, and Deep Red
I love adding a snippet of unique hand printed fabric to my quilts; not only does it add interest by way of texture but also a touch of exclusivity and individuality.

ReplyDeleteI've had some of Heather's tea towels in a display on a wall here for ages. I never tire of it. Now that I think of it, I have a quilt made with another collection of hers that hangs in my bedroom. I'm just drawn to her art; I'm glad to see that you are too.
