Joyful Holiday in July!

 

We just love the holidays at Kathy Davis Studios (who doesn’t?), and this year’s holiday designs are all about the JOY! This high-energy collection has a youthful, spirited vibe in colors that push the envelope just a bit beyond the traditional. Here, magenta is the perfect stand-in for red, the green is just a touch brighter than the usual evergreen, and the abundance of blues adds a cool winter mood to the mix.

Up Parasol from Heather Bailey

Take a stroll through lush summer gardens with Heather Bailey’s new Up Parasol collection. Pinks, blues, greens and tangerines combine for a fresh and lively palette. With layered florals and bold graphics, mix the pretty with the pop for modern projects from quilts and crafts to home decor and clothing. Combine Up Parasol with prints from Heather’s True Colors series for an expanded selection. Get inspired with yet another beautiful collection from this preeminent designer. 

We will be posting the patterns for these two beautiful projects on www.makeitcoats.com shortly.

Grand Cayman from Marjolein Bastin

The inspiration behind Marjolein's Grand Cayman collection - When I was four years old I used to collect small stones, snail shells and of course every feather I could find in the garden. Now, decades later, as I walk through the loose sand I just can’t help myself and collect everything I can find for my home. I have collections of sea urchin shells, crab shells, conch shells and of course, glass and pottery shards that have been rolling in the waves for years and years. The blue color of the glass mirrors that of the ocean.  The beach is a lovely place to rediscover yourself; the vast mysterious ocean with all its secrets provides a calm feeling that puts your worries and concerns in perspective. These small treasures from the ocean are a reminder for your home, when you don’t have the opportunity to take a first-hand look.

 

 

 

 

Inspiration for Parson Gray's new collection... Empire

 

 

The 5th fabric collection by designer David Butler for FreeSpirit fabrics under his brand guise Parson Gray, EMPIRE reflects David’s ongoing exploration of global design and richly muted jewel tones. Modern interpretations of ancient weavings, architecture and folk art from Japan, China, and India combined in hand-drawn elements create a story across three distinct color palettes. These three palettes are designed to work in harmony with each other, and also with past Parson Gray collections Vagabond, World Tour, Seven Wonders and Curious Nature. The Empire collection includes both cotton and flannel prints.

 

Flannel prints ONLY available in US.  Patterns available on www.makeitcoats.com
