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…

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!

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.

Christmas is a magical time that inspires me in many ways. From the peaceful and serene atmosphere of snow falling outside to the sight of snow-covered evergreen trees in the winter forests. The forests blanketed in snow evoke a sense of wonder and tranquility that fills my heart with joy, and the sound of crunching snow beneath my boots makes me feel at peace. The cozy smell of Christmas cookies baking in the oven is yet another source of inspiration. The sweet and spicy aroma fills the house and brings back memories of childhood holiday traditions. It warms my heart and makes me feel grateful for the simple pleasures in life, adding to the magic of the holiday season. Overall, Christmas is a time of giving, kindness, and joy that fills me with inspiration and hope. From the twinkling lights to the carolers singing in the festive atmosphere, it reminds me that even in the darkest of times, there is light and love to be found.

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.

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 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.

The Deja Vu collections are designed to offer a new take on an old favorite. In an effort to preserve the original collection, I have recolored Tabby Road for a new group of quilters. For people who loved Tabby Road when it first debuted in 2012, I offer you a brand-new colorway and a new reworked print! The linchpin of the collection is "Disco Kitty," a pair of fantasy cats in stripes and polka dots. The collection is built around them. I have added a new version called "Club Kitty" scaled up and splattered with nighttime stars in the background. The supporting prints are back with the volume turned way up. I added a prism of colors to some of the original two and three-color prints to give them their own spotlight. I chose Tabby Road for this year's Deja Vu collection for two reasons. The first reason is that I loved this collection and I hope that other people do too. The second reason is to show some love to my cat people. Besties, an all-pets collection that shipped in 2023, largely focused on dogs with a teeny tiny cat print. I am hoping that this will balance the scales. The Deja Vu collections come with an audience that already loves and misses these fabrics but with enough twists and turns to make them fall in love all over again. It is also designed to serve quilters who are new to us and missed these fabrics the first time around. By breathing new life into these long out of print fabrics with brand new colors and some additional extras, I am preserving the original fabrics for the people who have collected them to not devalue their hard earned (or hoarded) collections. Tabby Road Deja Vu is eight pieces presented as one complete colorway for new fans and old friends.

You will find magical reindeer, birds in flight, sweet candies, and joyous Christmas ornaments. May you find so much joy in creating a quilt to wrap around your loved ones during this peaceful holiday season! This is my gift to you! OOx, Cori
