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!

The British interiors brand Sanderson presents its newest collaboration with FreeSpirit ‘Country Romance’. Featuring designs selected from its vast and treasured archive, the collection ranges from timeless stripes and classic florals to detailed botanical illustrations. From the floral prestige of Chatsworth to the natural simplicity of Woodland Fern, these nature-inspired designs celebrate the heritage of classic English decoration in a fresh, contemporary palette. Rescaled and recoloured, the Country Romance collection of designs reflects the beauty of botanical art and hand-block printing techniques in new glory.

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.

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!

To make sure that our quilts are not only pretty but also carry messages of love and affection, I’ve created fabrics that can be used to carry these sentiments. I was interested in the language of flowers, which was once used by lovers to communicate their thoughts and emotions... The Victorian era was full of these delicate pictures and floral cards. The world of William Morris and Beatrix Potter were also ideal sources of inspiration for expressing the symbolism of the era: highly decorative compositions, animals serving as messengers, graceful hands expressing friendship, hope and benevolence. Isn’t this a wonderful way of communicating — through bouquets? So why not incorporate it into our quilts? You too can compose messages for those you love: for new babies, for visitors coming into your home, for friends going far away, and for cherished grandmothers... It will make your work all the more precious.

MOSAIC was inspired by complex constellations of shape and color found in stained glass windows, historic architectural tilework, and other decorative building motifs. 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.

I've always loved water and swimming. Water is healing. The sea is wild. It's a magical place. Julia Donaldson sums up my wonder of the sea in her children's book The Snail and the Whale: "A humpback whale, immensely long. Who sang to the snail a wonderful song. Of shimmering ice and coral caves. And shooting stars and enormous waves."

I was honored to be asked to create the poster image for the 50th anniversary of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show and the collection “Sisters Mountain Meadow”. The view is from the East, the direction of the sunrise, in homage to the beginning of the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show. Here, in the Central Oregon High Desert, the rabbitbrush and sagebrush thrive on wide open rangelands in the low eastern elevations. The wildflowers featured are spring and early summer blooming lupine, yarrow, balsam, and paintbrush. Moving westward the elevation rises and the big ponderosa pines emerge to form a cathedral in the forests that surround Sisters. The five trees represent the five decades of the Quilt Show. The community of Sisters, on the right, is surrounded by the tree-covered rounded foothills of the Deschutes National Forest. This land was formed over millennia by the towering volcanos and the rounded cinder cones which ground us in those who came before. A bright, sunny sky tops the ancient volcanos — The Three Sisters: Faith, Hope and Charity. These snowy peaks frame the image to the West as the viewer follows the sun’s path and look toward the future.

Trains, castles, planes, bicycles, boats, taxis, walking, eating, experiencing, and embracing our adventures through Europe helped us create Vintage Cloth. Embarking on our enchanting journeys to Europe was like stepping into a living canvas where every corner held a piece of history, and every moment resonated with the beauty of old art, intricate tiles, and captivating architecture. From the grandeur of medieval castles to the charm of cobblestone streets, our hearts were woven into the tapestry of an older place rich with culture and heritage. Vintage Cloth is all about discovering a lost part of ourselves and the adventures we had traveling through Europe. The picturesque countryside, dotted with castles and quaint villages. The charming canals of Amsterdam, lined with historic houses and bridges, added a touch of idyllic nostalgia to our escapades. The miles of countryside we traveled through were endless and dreamy. Each city we visited seemed to be a chapter in a love story with Europe’s timelessness. Our creative hearts were inspired by the art, tiles, architecture, textures, and landscapes. We were left with the impression that ‘more is better.’ Our new/old fabrics and new/old designs reflect this approach of ‘more is better’.
