True Colors Collections from FreeSpirit!!

 

 

 FreeSpirit True Colors is a new, designer-driven program featuring fresh, modern prints destined to become sewer’s, quilter’s and crafter’s favorites. Some favorite FreeSpirit designers like Joel Dewberry, Anna Maria Horner and Heather Bailey contribute prints and palettes true to each artist’s unique aesthetic. Each designer offers five distinctive prints in four color ways that can stand alone or can be used as “mixer prints.” Make simple tonal quilts from the colorways inside each line or mix the whole collection for a modern look!

 

 

   

   
 

Heather Bailey is rocking it per usual! I am especially fond of her use of citron and fuchsia...a lovely Spring time color combo, especially when accented with white!
 

 

   

So happy to see the inspired work of Joel Dewberry again!! He brings a wonderfully graphic sensibility to even the most feminine prints!
 

 

   

And we LOVE these pretty geometrics and shades from Anna Maria Horner! She is constantly creating new levels of interesting with her color sense and understanding of scale!


Shop all the True Colors prints here and see even more from Free Spirit Fabrics here!

The Sochi Olympics Patchwork Quilt!

 

 

Quilting, like many other art forms has a rich history in many different countries all across the globe!

I just adore the way they put all of these traditional Russian patterns together by hue! SO PRETTY!
