Quilt Market in Portland 2018.

Another amazing Quilt market is over and I was thrilled to introduce my next fabric collection with Art Gallery Fabrics called Decadence.

The collection will be available next month, so I will save another post for that and just go through some booth pics and also some of my favorite pics from the journey.

The quilt market was held from 18-20 May in the Portland's Convention center. It was placed in the Lloyd District, where our hotel was also situated and it was very easy to reach some nearby points and attractions with their local MAX railway transportation.

My impression of the Quilt Market was that it was definitely smaller than usual and that many visitors were locals, but it was great chance to meet and chat with people visiting and exhibiting.

I was very happy with quick and successful installation of my Vintage damask teal wallpaper from Spoonflower and I love how it somehow gathered everything together, giving that vintage kitchy look that I wanted to obtain.

I really liked the look of my booth, especially as I didn't have a lot of time for sewing, and living outside of US, forced me to make all of the samples by myself.

I enjoyed visiting Portland's Art Museum and seeing some contemporary and old masters work.

 Enjoyed seeing so many greenery in the city and especially outside. With my friend Lauv, I was so happy to be able to visit Multnomah Falls, Hood River city, Ecola State Park, Cannon beach and many other beautiful sites and places, driving through...

 

Hope you enjoyed,

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)
