Last spring I designed a collection of fabrics for Anna Griffin's new company called Blend Fabrics. I've been hinting about the work, but not quite ready to show anything yet. Blend is launching at Quilt Market, now about 10 days away! Time to share.
I am head over hills in love. With the whole experience, the company (and their inspired sense of adventure), the process, the prints, the quality, the colors. Oh, the loveliness!
Named for the place where I grew up in Missouri, Walnut Hill Farm has seven patterns in three colorways: Button Box, Queen Anne's Lace, Rummy, Josie, Hilltop, Music Room and Dandelions.
Of course, there are quilts for the booth, but I've been sewing a few extra things too.
What a super-sized, happy dream come true!
I'll be back to remind you again (and again), but if you or your local quilt shop is heading to Houston, you are invited to stop by Booth 1600-1606 to see all the artists' collections at Blend Fabrics. I'll be there and would love to meet you!
For more information about the company, sales or the fabrics, please contact the wonderful Joe Spiegelberg, Anna's partner in Blend. Email joe@blendfabrics.com.
Congrats, Charlotte! I love the lace print- so beautiful! Do you know when and where it will be available here in NYC?

Charlotte,
I have always loved your designs. How wonderful to have your designs on fabric and to work with such a wonderful company.
They look amazing, even if I did have to squint a bit.

Very interesting idea for these new works of yours. I love how you merged these different patterns and fabrics. Not anyone can blend them in such a perfect way. It really looks beautiful.
