Introducing the Concho Collection: A Little Bit of the West in Fabric from Sister Of The Divide

Introducing the Concho Collection: A Little Bit of the West in Fabric Sometimes a collection starts with a carefully thought-out plan. And sometimes you start drawing, follow an idea down a rabbit hole, and suddenly realize you have a fabric collection. Welcome to the Concho Collection. This collection grew from my love of the colors, textures and ornamentation of the American West—

Perfecting the Tote Bag–Part 1, the Turquoise Onion Tote from Art and Quilting in Camden

Confession: I love boxes, bags, baskets…. the more, the merrier. I still wonder what happened to that plaid and a little bit of leather bag I had when I was six! And I love having my bags work for me, offering the perfect combination of color, print and cloth, and function.

Over the years I have learned that I HATE rummaging around in the pitch dark bottom of a deep bag. I think of those as North-South bags, taller than they are wide. I vastly prefer East-West–where I can actually FIND stuff inside. It also means black and other ...

Now that the new year has begun

and I am slowly getting back

into my work routine,

it is time to talk goals!

I have chosen words in the past

but my personality does not do

by the wayside.

“Un–boxing” my first designs printed on fabric! from Art and Quilting in Camden

Yes I bit the bullet and had my three collections printed (mostly swatches) at Spoonflower. I’m for the most part delighted with the results, but need to fine-tune color between my monitor and printer and Spoonflower’s printer! I hope you enjoy this video!

I’d love to hear which ones you like best… and if you know anyone at one of my top companies (which I’m still keeping secret LOL!) let me know…and TELL THEM to give me a contract <<<grin>>>.
