FRESH OFF THE PRESS!!!
February 17, 2009
I'm super excited, happy, proud and --in this very moment-- having a delirium!!!
I want to introduce to you my new baby, REVIVE.......
Well, what was I thinking when I designed this collection?? Rest, rest, and rest your mind... Put your body in tune with your mind at the same time; so rest your body too. :) In most of the designs for this group, I wanted to re-create or "revive" prints from beautiful spas located in European hotels, that I was studying for some time. Old prints, new prints... Kind of wired, right?? Well, I love those designs, and I love them all!
I tried to use all the blue in the world; soft, calming blue, pacific blue, turquoise, pastel blue, deep Prussian blue as you can see in the Sapphire Palette.
Purple, a very transmuting color. Many variations, but very soft and dusty. To warm it up a little bit some brown; very dry, grayish, not a hint of red in it. And creamy white, to give it luminescence. Here is the Amethyst Palette.
I really hope that these fabrics can inspire some of you. There is a lot of work put into each one; my soul is imprinted here. Because I think a nice print can say it all, you can concentrate in simple sewing and quilting projects and really enjoy the process and the result. Sewing is so pleasant! For those of you who love free patterns you can download one I've designed from here or from my website. This very simple quilt project is made only with strips!
I can see these designs already in handbags (lots of different models!!), casual dresses and tops, baby bedding; also in all the Home-Dec items you can imagine. OH! I just remembered, I am already working with some Etsy designers who help me with sample sewing alongside with me --I have so many projects in my mind!!
The fabrics have been flying to the stores since last week. Give shops some days to open boxes and put them on the shelves --as well as list them online; so whenever you have chance to buy them, don't forget to send me all pictures with creations you have made, so I can display them in my Flickr group. If you want to post them, you are welcome to do so going to Art Gallery Fabrics Flickr pool.
Where to buy them? You can go to your local quilt store. Here is a list state by state. If you want to buy them online, here is another link.
All your opinions and comments are welcome, so feel free to post them!
And don't forget:
