the Emma fabric collection
Mid March 2020 my friends and I sat down in a mostly empty theater to watch the long awaited new adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. All thoughts of a rapidly spreading virus in Asia were put aside as we were enveloped in the bright and happy world director Autumn DeWilde created. I walked out completely inspired by the costumes, sets, houses, landscaping, wallpaper, interiors, food, dancing, etc. I immediately had to draw it all out and the Emma fabric collection was born.
This collection is a follow up to the Pemberley collection released a few years ago. You will recognize a few reoccurring motifs like the manors and the dancers. I love chinoiserie interiors and definitely wanted that to be the focus of this collection--there are peonies, flowering branches, birds, and butterflies in classic mints, pinks, and yellows.
Along with the collection, I designed the Hartfield Manor quilt pattern. This quilt pattern is another big block, easy sew pattern that shows off the fabric. I wanted to combine a chippendale caning look with an English garden maze. The pattern will be released Friday July 22, 2022. You can get a copy of it HERE.
