I am delighted to finally share my new fabric collection from Northcott Fabrics. Most of the designs are based on my hand-dyed fabric, with a few prints added using motifs from one of my quilts. This line, part of the Artisan Spirit line, is called "Falling Leaves", and is available in two colourways, "Spring Rain" and "Autumn Harvest". The collection will be launched at Quilt Market in Pittsburgh in May. It should ship to stores for September.

I designed a very simple pattern to go with the collection. I think a beginner would be just fine creating this design. It can be done in either colourway.
The patterns look WONDERFUL Elaine. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks Daphne, you know I couldn't have done it without your EQ7 help. Your pattern is great too, funny I almost called mine Windswept as well, but then decided to stick with the name "Falling Leaves" because it is the same name as the fabric line.
DeleteThe fabric looks so beautiful, Elaine! You must be so proud, and also thrilled! The name of the collection is perfect, too. Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteWhat is really cool is how well your collection reflects who you are (or where you're from) as an artist and fabric dyer. Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteCongrats! Great collection!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Elaine, I love them all. When will you be selling your pattern and will it be available at the stores which will be selling your fabric line?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie. The pattern will be available for stores to order from Northcott. Some stores who order fabric may order it, and others may not. I am hoping that in a few months I will have a shopping cart on my website for all my patterns.
DeleteThank you Judy, Suzanna and Norma :-)
