Bagging it with Holly Knott!

Holly Knott is an amazing artist, author,and so much more!!! This bag she designed using my Pompeii fabric by Clothworks.  I love what she did with the mix-and-match colors.  You can read more about this design on her blog.  This particular one she is not selling on her new Etsy site however there are so many new fun and  beautiful designs by her and her mom the famous artist and my friend Diane Knott!  Please take a look. Thanks Holly for using my fabric design!  As a side note  the Spicewood dinnerware collection coordinates with this fabric line.

Wake up and smell the coffee!

Sneak Peek: I love this quilt design by Stephanie Sims for Clothworks  using my Jumpin' Java fabric group. The  collection should be hitting the streets (I mean quilt shops) in September.

It's In The Bag

What can be more exciting than receiving a gift from a friend who made the gift by hand?  What can be more inspiring to get a hand made gift from a friend who’s a fellow artist and created the gift with your own fabric design.

Diane Knott created this beautiful bag using some of my Pompeii fabric By Clothworks. This stitch work has so many  intricate gorgeous details. Featured here are some close-ups.  I really love the the fun label she created.  Here is what Diane has to say  from her own words: "Making the tote for Sue was so much fun!  When she sent me the fabrics, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and make something special for her as a surprise gift for our friendship over the past few years.  It was so hard to decide which of the fabrics to use because they all worked together so beautifully!  I think these were my favorites though!  ;-)  Notice the fancy decorative stitching I used on the pocket.....my machine does great embroidery designs so I chose one that I thought suited the pattern on the fabric and did some free-motion stitching with it all around. I know Sue didn't expect this when she sent the fabric to me so I was really happy that it turned out to be a complete surprise! "  Thank you so much Diane this was a wonderful surprise.  I never would have guessed that  she used a sewing machine  for the decorative stitching.

Diane Knott amazes me with all the things she creates.  One of her latest ventures blew me away.  Actually it was her and her darling daughter Holly Knott ( I mean it Holly really is darling) . They had their first book published.  Talk about true art for quilters to work with.  Although I am not a quilter I am very inspired by the collaboration of this book. You can learn more about the book and the up-and-coming signings here on Holly’s website.

Confession: I cannot sew.

I am a fabric designer and love to design fabric collections for quilters . At this time I have never created a quilt . I am extremely inspired by those how can sew. I am so excited when I see my artwork used in others creations .  I would love to feature some of your creations on my blog. Please contact me if you have anything you would like to share.
