Mediterraneo

It's been a while since updating or posting here, but I suppose it's better later than ever;)
My current collection with Art Gallery Fabrics was out in late April and it's called Mediterraneo.
The first image is the Soleil quilt, that is a free pattern, that can be downloaded HERE



Inspired with childhood memories and summers spent in some places along the Mediterranean coast, this collection takes you to the beautiful journey spiced with typical Mediterranean fruits and flowers, in shades of navy, magenta and hints of tangerine. It has two color groups: Maddalena gateway and Marrakesh escape.

 Here are two original watercolor paintings that were used for my favourite Frutteria print.

 

 

I created the Bows quilt pattern featuring this fabrics and it can be found HERE

For more projects and inspirational images and ideas, feel free to browse through the Look book.



Happy sewing,
Katarina

Happy Holidays!

I wish you a wonderful and peaceful Christmas and very Happy, joyous and creative New Year!!

Esoterra

As the Esoterra lookbook is finally out, I can't be happier to share with you some amazing projects and creations that AGF team and some incredible makers were able to put together!

This first quilt is the free quilt pattern, that I created and named Amber. Amber quilt pattern (can be downloaded HERE) is inspired with the diamond shapes from the Ambered bugs print.

All the beautiful items that can be seen above are created by Elina Temmes and pics are her courtesy as well :) The pattern for the gorgeous slippers from the picture can be found in the Tilda's house book, while the Flowermania pattern can be found Here.

There are many beautiful quilts in the lookbook, and "Travels to Esoterra" by Marija Vujčić is one of them. She's working on the free tutorials for the other items that she created with Esoterra, that should be available soon.

 I love this beautiful "Clever girl" dress by Gwyneth LaSpina that is a mash up of Sweet Agnes swing top dress and T-shirt dress.

I love this Dino plush (pattern by Wooly petals) and looks like a great gift-giving idea ;)

This beautiful "Jungle Flight"quilt by Sara Diepersloot (quilted by Jeffery Yasenchok) can be found through Modern Handmade.

I love what Becca Plymale created for her adorable son and I will definitely sew one these classic oxford button-up shirt for my son and rough-n-tumble pants look great too!

Cassie Nicole made this stunning knit dress for her daughter that has a great twirlability ;)

Amazing Adventuring messenger bag and Malcolm quilt are created by Sarah Overton :)

 Probably my favourite bomber jacket in my favourite print from the collection :)

Beautiful Triassic Triangles quilt by Elise Baek looks so fresh and colorful!

I wish I have a toddler in my life to make him this outstanding hoodie jacket by Hello dear kids!!

Last, but certainly not the least is this stunning modern quilt by Paola Baker (pattern can be found in Simply Modern Christmas book by Cindy Lammon)

There are many more projects in the look book, so I hope that you will find something for yourself and/or other dino lovers in your life!!!

Introducing...Esoterra!!!

Art Gallery fabrics has officially launched all the Fall collections, including my Esoterra collection, coming in October. Esoterra brings to life an extinct luscious land where beautiful and exotic creatures roamed. I tried to capture the archeological essence of this mysterious world with lush foliage and rugged textures enhanced by deep green, dark teals, grays and hints of fuchsia.

My son was always a huge fan of Dinosaurs and even if he's almost 13, he's still enchanted with these marvelous creatures. I wanted to create a gender and age neutral collection that could appeal to all dino lovers. I tried to translate my vision of these gigantic extinct inhabitants and their surrounding using organic shapes, textures and colors, telling a story through variety of prints, giving them luscious and almost exotic look.

Can't wait to show you some wonderful projects with this line coming next....

Summer 2017

It's always so hard to say goodbye to summer, as it's my favourite season and part of the year where we enjoy being in company of our family and friends, spending more time outside....

This year, we spent 2 amazing weeks at the Adriatic cost, in Croatia. It's actually the place from my childhood, where I used to spent all summers when I was little....It was so nice to see my kids being in a company of my friend's kids, having a wonderful time, making some memories and friends for life.

 

We made a one day trip to Trieste, Italy to see the city and explore a bit, and it was so fun!

Now it's already time to go back to school, but also to share a new fabric collection coming this Fall...can't wait!!! :)
