This is an exciting time in my life. Soon my first line of fabric will be introduced by Free Spirit Fabrics. This has been a dream of mine since college. I was lucky to have some inspired professors that exposed us to the exciting textile design being done around the world in the early 70’s. This is when I learned about Marimekko, a modern Finnish textile company. Their large scale graphic designs were dramatic (still are) and unique and I have dreamed of being a fabric designer ever since. It is definitely this Finnish influence that has inspired me to use larger scale patterns for my quilting fabrics. My goal with this line of fabric was to design large scale prints that could be cut and pieced or appliqued into simple, but dramatic quilts. I want quilters to be able to isolate whole motifs for “broderie perse” or piecing, or even as whole cloth quilts. I also hope that these floral prints can be used in clothing and home decorating. I hope that many of you will send me photographs of your “imaginative projects” so we can have a “show & tell” gallery on this site at the beginning of the new year. In the mean time, stay tuned because we plan to give you inspiration along the way. I hope you enjoy the fabrics as much as i enjoyed designing it!
