Actually, it’s more about celebrating great news from my friend Elizabeth Brandt. Back in May 2013 SAQA (Studio Arts Quilt Associates) posted a fabric design competition honoring SAQA’s 25th anniversary. After thinking about it, Elizabeth created her design and submitted it. Months went by, nothing was heard, and then all of a sudden she learned her design (and 5 others) won out of 209 entries, curated by Luana Rubin. YES! Elizabeth can now add fabric designer to her resume.
The six pattern collection called URBAN TEXTURES is from
Andover (with three colorways of each pattern) and will be available soon. How cool is that!? I got to see them up close and personal
yesterday, and they are all incredible. As
their name implies, they are interesting textures, very useful whether you
fancy traditional, modern or art quilting styles. I can see them in my stash now, and better
yet, a quilt.
Elizabeth’s design is called URBAN GESTURE, a lyrical and
flowing organic design on white ground with black figure, interspersed with just
enough vibrant happy colors. Can’t wait
to use them! Andover is posting free pattern downloads to kick off this collection. For more information on Elizabeth, SAQA or to
see the entire collection check out:
Congrats Elizabeth!
