Hello,

I am beyond excited with the release of my debut fabric collection, Homestead Life, for Windham Fabrics. When I was writing my inspiration statement about this collection the words just came right out from the thoughts in my mind about the first time I decided to create this collection. It went something like this ;)

When you leave town, stay on Main Street until it turns into County Road H. A few miles outside of town, up the hill and around the bend, after the little white church but before Lottie’s Farm Stand, you’ll see it on the right hand side. That sweet little homestead where chickens roam the yard, lavender grows in the field and dreams are made from sunshine, rich earth and hard work. It’s a place I go to in my mind when the busyness of life starts to swirl around me. A prayer, a deep breath and a cup of coffee and I’m good to go, but the dream stays tucked away in a safe place.

Each fabric design in Homestead Life holds a special piece of that story. From the little house, to the animals, bees, flowers and seeds. Even the simple ticking stripe brings visions of that sweet country life to my mind.

It has been beyond rewarding to bring these elements to life and sew them into quilts, garments and other items for the home.

Fabric will be in stores April 2020.

That’s a lot of talking, so here are some photos to look at :)
