Presenting Magic Garden!

Here it is!! It seems like it takes forever to get a collection just how you want it and then there it is! And then I have to wait for yardage! This fabric designing is a good exercise in patience for me. I am so happy with how this one turned out. It is a little smaller collection and I am already so excited to sew with it. Color wise I went in a direction I didn't expect and am happy with how it landed. I love my yard, I love to go outside and see what is growing at any given time of the year. I love to see how it changes one day to the next and one season to the next. It seems like magic to me, all the goings on- that buzz you feel when you are outside. I was stumped on the name so I got my favorite 8 year old intern and daughter to help me out. She came up with "Magic Garden" and it felt good to both of us. She is thrilled and proud that she gets to participate in this with me and I am thrilled and proud too that she enjoys doing this with me. The first colorway is "Petals". I wanted something feminine but not too youthfully girly. I hope I hit that spot. This first print is a little bit bigger scale and it is a panel stripe. The floral stripe with its leafy border runs the length of the fabric , repeating three times over the width. I think it will work so well for little girl skirts, aprons, bags. I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

I call this one tiny flowers.

plaid- I love how the linear feel of this plaid works with the rest of the collection.

Butterflies. I think this would be a great wallpaper too! Couldn't you see a bathroom in it?

wandering vines- because that is pretty much what they are doing...

I took these prints to my sewing group last night. One friend said she thought this one looked like a birds eye view of cupcakes- I think she is on to something.

Spider web. I think this feels like a dew sprinkled web.

One more circle posies because I just couldn't pick one!

This colorway is called Indian Summer. We have amazing Indian Summers here in the Pacific Northwest. It gets hot during the day- dry so everything is a little crunchy and fading but still vibrant and the sun hits an angle that makes everything glowy and magical.

So there it is! It feels good to be able to share! I hope everyone loves it! Blue Hill will be showing and taking orders at Quilt Market in October. I already have a quilt pattern or two worked up for it. You can be sure I will share it with you as soon as I get it together!
