Dreaming of Textures

At Fall Quilt market I debuted the beginning of my Textures palettes, some of my favorite abstraction quilts constructed with variety of Robert Kaufman substrates; Kona Cotton, Manchester (regular and metallic), Essex Linen Cotton Metallics, and Superluxe Poplin. Think of it as my Abstractions quilts in fancy dress clothes. 

Before I began designing my own fabric, I used to sew with a wide variety of different weights and textures. There were no rules. Creating the Texture series was like taking a step back and revisiting my creative roots.   

Below you can find the fabric I used and amounts if you would like to create your own Textures Elephant Abstraction or Textures Elevated Abstractions.  You can purchase the patterns in my shop.  You can also purchase a precut kit, details are located below.

Robert Kaufman is offering Textures kits of both Elephant Abstractions and Elevated Abstractions which will be available to ship in February.

Both kits will be available at the following shops; A Stitch in Time, Christa Quilts, Fabric Square Shop, and Hawthorne Threads.  Textures Elephant Abstractions will be available at Delphine's Quilt Shop, Circa 15 Fabric Studio, Quilts on Plum Lane, and Lollipop's Quilt Shop.

If you are a shop interested in purchasing kits you can check with your RK account manager or order online once logged in. If you are a shop in Canada you can check with Harpers, they will have both kits. 

Jungle Abstractions: The Lion Textures Kit will be coming soon as well! Stay tuned for exciting new products and projects! It will be a beautiful, texture filled year!

Happy Sewing,
