Amy Butler's New Collections: Belle and Forest

2059_detail.jpgAmy Butler has not one, but two gorgeous new collections this year, accompanied by her first book, In Stitches.  We love the vivacious creative spirit behind each of these endeavors.

 

Forest is a home decor weight cotton fabric produced by Kokka, a Japanese company known for its high quality durable cottons and spot-on colors.  amy-line-up.jpgThe high-contrast tapestry prints and seed pods have been ransacked from a French country house, thrown in the juicer of Amy's sketchbook, and emerge full of vitamin c.  The juicy palette is daring, based in nature's brightest pigments. 

Belle is eclectic and wordly and mellow.  Printed on quilt-weight cotton, this vital group of prints is suitable for garments, quilts and lighter home projects like the ones featured in In Stitches.

This pretty apron from In Stitches features fabric from the Belle Collection.  We added a bright orange trim to the hem, pocket, and waistband.

Hi Lindsay-

This fabric has been out of print for some time and we no longer have any of it left. We do have some newer Amy Butler fabric and it's on sale right now!
