It is spring in Paris. In my bedroom with open windows, I can hear the birds singing. I’m lying on the flowered, quilted bedcover, and I dream…of the striped, romantic wallpaper on the walls of my bedroom, my vintage sofa covered with tiger eye fabric, and my little kitchen with the tiny table covered with a gingham tablecloth and the beautiful Parisian cement tiles on the floor. I can hear the bells of the church of Montmartre just at the end of the street. I can see the roofs of Paris, and even from very far away, I can admire the Eiffel Tower and some other beloved monuments. Wearing my green dress with butterflies, I dream about a spring in Paris…

AM loves HUE is an ode to color and a joyous departure from my typical printed collection. The fabrics provide quilters and sewists with fun and diverse stripes, color blocks, and large graphic-style prints that are fun to use as whole pieces or cut up in interesting ways. Especially useful for the quilter are the color block designs, which are set up like quarter-yard cuts and fat sixteenths! I also brought back a couple of favorite large-scale prints, Belonging and Cartwheels, which have slightly cheater aspects to them for patchwork and appliqué. AM loves HUE packs a punch and provides all of my go-to colors that will work beautifully with all of my collections.

England’s countryside, ancient woodlands, and protected wildlife, Arboretum is an enchanting collection of designs. Fusing contemporary, stylized elements with archival influences, this collection recaptures the glory of the country’s aesthetic. Seasonal tones run throughout, combining classic English hues with a modern twist. Fresh, uplifting leaf greens and deep indigo blues reach through to autumnal shades such as russet and plum in a warm, welcoming palette. A recipe for positivity and the opportunity to reconnect with nature, Arboretum reminds us of the restorative powers the countryside provides.

I am so happy to announce BioGeo Energy, the 4th collection of my drawings made into fabric for FreeSpirit Fabrics and the talented quilters they serve. Like Bio Geo 1, 2, and 3, this collection continues to celebrate the rhythms of nature made visible through line, shape, pattern, and color. I’ve enhanced the excitement of the BioGeo series that has been made up of my freehand curved drawings by adding some of the straight-line patterns from my hand-drawn (with a ruler) “Inner Energy” series. I love the new electrifying vibrations they add to the BioGeo rhythms! I hope you do, too!

I love to use black and white prints in my work, so I thought it would be fun to create a line that reflected that joy. I added another layer of white shapes that, when the fabric is dyed, will pick up the dye differently to create another layer of imagery. Enjoy!

My love for caffeine and gardening is showcased in my whimsical collection, Blossom Brew. A mix of prints is featured: modern toile, fashion-forward women, and colorful florals bursting out of coffee and tea cups. Using a blend of pencil and watercolor, I’ve created my own variety of flowers for playful floral and coffee/tea-inspired projects. Within this collection, you’ll discover nine colorful panels featuring my signature style: women wearing fun, multi-patterned outfits while sipping and serving cups of overflowing bouquets. This charming collection is a perfect blend of whimsy and is budding with endless possibilities.

My newest collection showcases the various techniques I use when creating with watercolors and inks. From finely pointed watercolor brushes that allow a level of detail akin to working with a fine-tipped ink pen to sweeping lush sable brushes that leave a broad pool of color behind, Brushstrokes celebrates the depth and breadth of my painting style. I aim to achieve that beautiful balance between saturated color, watery washes and controlled brushwork. From pattern to pattern, I harness the often-mysterious fluidity of painting with water, honoring both loose, flowing designs and accentuating delicate, intricate details.

danced on the dance floor like a super athlete. As a world-class runner, I danced around the track for miles, and it was a beautiful sight to behold. Running was a powerful, graceful form of dancing. I am a dancer, and I am a dreamer! I have danced and dreamed my whole life away, which has been more fun than anyone should have, but I have done it well, my friends! When I went blind at fifteen, I danced through the adversity and darkness until I found the light. I walked, jogged, ran, and danced toward that bright light. When you create, you dance around thoughts, images, and dreams. My grandmother once told me she saw a quilt in the sky. I believe now she was dancing on the puffy white clouds in heaven! Dance is the hidden language of the soul. Don’t let people discourage you; just dance the bad vibes off! Dance rhymes with romance. Love is why we are here! Go quilters!

A friend once remarked sentiments to me that I’ve never forgotten as it surprised me at the time. He said, “I go to India regularly for peace and tranquility”. He, Steve Rigg, was an elderly English doctor who carried himself with a distinguished and yet calm casual air. He shared his stories, cooking, and music experiences from times spent in India. I discovered firsthand what he meant when I too ventured solo to India in 1998. I traveled to Rajasthan endeavoring to have my block-printed and painted fabric designs reproduced onto rolls of fabric. This has been a dream of mine since a young teenager. With just a backpack, I rolled up in a rickshaw to the gates of the Rajmahal Palace in Jaipur. I could only afford to stay one night. I was escorted to my breathtakingly beautiful room. With marble floors, soaring ceilings, carved timber bed furniture and side tables, white bedlinen, and parchment paper notepads, the ambiance was special. Superb quality, including gorgeous woven reed and bamboo blinds that draped the enormous timber framed glass windows looking out to a carved screen courtyard and beyond to expansive formal gardens. From my limited travel clothes, I dressed for dinner in a smoky blue and turquoise sarong I had brought from home. I wore the turquoise silk blouse which I had made the previous day in Udaipur. On my feet, I wore brown flat sandals crisscrossed high above my ankles. Filled with wonder and delight, I strolled through the expansive intricate carved wood passageways to the marble opulent dining room. I was placed at a candlelit table for two, white linen, high ceilings, and soft lighting. I ate my smooth curry while listening to the mystical sounds of a harp being played by three men sitting cross-legged on the marble floor. I felt the “Essence of India”. The feelings evoked from the journey, left my soul enchanted and my stay so memorable. I felt feverishly inspired to want to paint and design. A seed was planted in my mind and a wish to one day have a collection on rolls of fabric, inspired by an Indian palace.

To me, my garden is a place of peace and relaxation. I love how it encourages an active relationship with nature, even when the deer eat my tulips! Being part of the little ecosystem that is my garden makes me feel connected and well grounded! I hope that Garden Bed brings you joy, makes you laugh, and brings you a little closer to all the little pollinators.

My third collection for FreeSpirit Fabrics, Golden Touch, is inspired by an up-close look at nature. I tried to capture in my designs the meditative repetition and diverse variation that is found in the natural world. My hope is that Golden Touch makes you feel like you are looking under a microscope and discovering patterns of spirals, spheres, waves, and meanders. The colors in the Golden Touch collection are evocative of metal elements and organic materials. This collection is unique because I combined three different artistic techniques and mediums to create it. The fourteen designs are made from my original monotypes, hand-painted watercolors, and monotype collages. Monotypes are a one-of-a-kind printmaking practice. Monotypes are created by painting directly onto a plate and running the plate through a printing press. In my monotypes, I utilize the unique and unexpected textures of both natural and man-made objects such as vegetable wrappers, bubble wraps, leaves, or dried flowers in my work. I enjoy this printmaking process because it involves a sense of spontaneity and it always includes an element of surprise. The monotype collages were created by cutting up and combining various different monotypes. I can’t wait to see how you use Golden Touch in your next project and I encourage you to take a peek through the looking glass to see what you discover.

To me, Grace means the space to give self-love and self-care as I navigate a new life. This journey of Grace started in January 2022 with the word being part of my intentions for the year, going inward to take care of myself as a woman, artist, mom, leader, and friend. I needed to go to the next step of healing and self-discovery to find my new path. Part of this self-discovery was taking the risk to say 'yes' to #thehundreddayproject. This project took me on a discovery of what I have already done (I printed blocks I have already carved), tapping into what I know -color and discovering I am good at what I do. As the weeks continued and my confidence grew, ideas filled my head and I started carving new blocks. A series of blocks emerged and at the end, I kept carving and printing until Grace was born. This was the start of the collection and it grew to this rich, luscious, combination of colors and layers of designs. Grace was my journey to a new sense of self-worth and confidence, it continues to fuel my intentions and my life. We all need a little Grace in our lives!

Calling all magic makers... YES! That is you. This collection was made in your honor. It is a tribute to cutting, measuring, sewing (seam ripping), binding, quilting, and creating magic! Magic hands, magic minds... making so many decisions. People ask me why I don’t quilt, but as I write this I realize I do many of the same things I mention here. I make one small decision after another that leads me to a beautiful end (as do you)! And this my dears is magic, and it is totally worth celebrating. So, I honor YOU! Each small decision is a step toward an amazing end. I can’t wait to see what you make. OOx, Cori

The collection includes dramatic geometric prints balanced with subtle blenders, providing a broad range of scale and visual texture. Each design is rendered in deeply saturated, earthy tones, creating a beautiful color harmony throughout the collection.

To the tropical jungle, I owe my soul and memories. Rising Jungle is the beginning of a journey guided by the heartbeat that comes from a distance. Like the arteries that pump oxygen from my heart, wide rivers crossing the continents flow abundantly, bringing with them the sound of the jungle. A symphony of inexhaustible background noises nourishes the texture of my imagination. Here is where the jaguars, the toucans, the guacamayas, the titis, the leaves, the moss, the flamingos, and endless florals are drawn. Vibrant contours interweave ecosystems; It is the rhythm that marks the patterns of this collection. The colors of Rising Jungle are ready to start flowing through the veins of nature and to the rhythm of your own heart.

I’m a small-town girl at heart, but I’m captivated by city lights and towering buildings that sparkle against the night sky. This fascination inspired my latest fabric collection, Skylights. The signature piece features a starry night sky, reminiscent of clear, magical evenings. The city buildings are bathed in vibrant colors, and each window is crafted from hand-printed papers, adding a special touch to this design. Skylights combine my love for small-town simplicity with the allure of the city. It’s about bringing a touch of urban magic into our lives through art and design, and I hope it resonates with those who appreciate both rural and urban beauty. My collection is designed to inspire quilters to create something equally enchanting themselves.

This collection came directly from my travels. Large, exotic florals and delicate butterflies intermingle with fun stripes and dots — always and forever a classic, and my favourite. Deep indigo and magenta backgrounds work so beautifully against the whites, pinks and mustard yellows. Everything pops with passion and prettiness.

These fabrics are not covered in neon but have accents of neon. For most of my past 48 fabric collections, I have used flowers as the setting pieces for my animal illustrations. I have used them to fi.ll in the gaps and frame my illustrations. They have always been a part of the drawing that I look forward to! It seemed to me that it was time to give these little backup dancers their time in the spotlight! I am always looking to surprise people who use my fabrics. In true "Tula'' fashion, flowers alone would not have been enough for me. Some of my favorite pieces from past collections have been the small geometric prints that rarely get the same attention as the large detailed illustrations. In "Untamed" I have combined these elements so that each geometric print is paired with a floral print that highlights the same shapes. A checkered petal peony on a checkered background has its own coordinating checkered print. A dahlia covered in polka dots has a small polka dot print to pair with it. A houndstooth acts as a latticework for a collection of dogwoods and pansies to grow up and through, paired with a multi-color traditional houndstooth pattern with a swath of neon running through it. For an added layer of depth, I have added pigmented neon to the petals and geometrics which give the prints a magical glowing quality! These prints would be great on their own or paired with a past or future collection. Don't forget to pair them with True Colors to appreciate the collection fully.
