RIDDLES & RHYMES fabric collection for FreeSpiritFabric

Recently I received my personal sample stash of my latest fabric collection RIDDLES & RHYMES. What a sweet group of fabrics this is. My illustration of favorite characters really comes through in this collection. You can see my hand drawn sketch lines.
The range was separated into two groups - boys and girls. And two colorways per. I love this line and hope you do too.
We're debuting a new form of pattern ideas in the form of a digital e-pattern book online. So watch for news on the RIDDLES & RHYMES PLAYBOOK of sewing projects and patterns.

Big hugs to you this NEW year.

New Fabric Collection

Pernilla's Journey is debuting this May... There are 3 colorways I will share with you beginning with this warm and cozy group I called 'Sweet Treats'. Watch for the other 2, they will surprise you!
Pernilla's Journey was inspired by a childhood book, Ms. Z... I used to read the book over and over again. Last time I remember the book I was about 9 or 10 living in Africa.
Well, we lost many childhood items when we moved to Canada in the early 1980s.. I guess just because we couldn't take much out of Zimbabwe... emigration laws. So recently, I reacquired the book and my 8 year old Mellie read it to me out loud... you can't imagine the memories and images this conjured up for me.  And so I took of on a journey myself and illustrated the story in fabric. I hope you enjoy, the parrot jungle, elephant run, unicorn herds and overall Chinoiserie take I seemed to inject into the collection. Enjoy.

Pernilla's Journey, Sweet Treats Colorway....
Inspired by
Miss. Z. The dark young lady by Angela Carter 1970

From Fairy Tip Toes.....

I have always loved polkadots.... this is one of my recent fabrics, TG66 in pink {also comes in peaches and chocolate, and a ivory, chocolate and yellow combo which is also delicious!}... anyhoo, this fabric is now also available as an invitation and notecard.... watch your local stationery shop for these little gems.... we'll be listing stores online here soon where you can find a stationer who can personalize...... eek! I am so excited about this!
PS Polkadot Silhouette above is one of my best selling fabrics as simple as it is.... I think that is it's charm!
