ARTISTIC QUILTS WITH COLORS BLOG AND NEWS

ANNA MARIA HORNER - FLUENT features 18 designs and 1 wide back. 

As a first-generation Greek American who has never quite reached fluency in Greek, Anna Maria Horner recently embarked on reconnecting with the language through audio lessons while also creating the beginnings of this collection.

The Tropicalism collection by Odile Bailloeul invites you to venture into virgin and unknown territories and dense jungles where the vegetation is prolific and exuberant. Here everything is extreme: the colors, the richness of the textures, the fragrances, the profusion of patterns. Insects, birds, frogs and wild animals come out of their hiding places to meet you, merging with the leaves and flowers in full bloom. 

The Eclectic Elements Alchemy collection from Tim Holtz was inspired by alcohol ink, an art medium often used to create free-flowing textures. This magical group of designs is filled with fluid movement and bold colors, adding depth and texture to your projects.

AURIFIL - VARIEGATED threads contain multiple colors or multiple shades of one color. The spacing and repetition of the threads depends on how the thread is dyed. Aurifil produces 36 variegated thread colors that are prepared using three unique processes

Aurifil’s Cross River Gorilla thread set was created in tribute to this elusive and regal creature. It features 3 large spools of our 40wt thread in 3 hues of purple— a warm, a medium, and a dark— 2562, 2520, & 2545.

Tula's Premium Collections were her very first for Aurifil, dating back to 2013. They included 12 Large Spools or 10 Small Spools of our variegated hues in Aurifil 50wt. They are truly designed for versatility-- something that makes a huge difference when working with bold print and color as is Tula's design genius. These spools perfectly complement her fabrics and have been doing so for years.

Month 10 of Aurifil's 2022 Color Builder Program is all about the Hawaiian Blue Ginger. The Hawaiian Blue Ginger Color Builder includes three shades of 50wt thread in 2510, 3840, & 4651, two variegated shades and one solid to help represent this cool bloom. 

Featuring Up, Up and Away by Sue Penn.  The Balloon Festival quilt features the fun and colorful Dreams Take Flight panel by Sue Penn. Traditionally pieced hot air balloons accent the panel and feature 5 whimsical prints from the Up, Up and Away Collection.
