Succulents is HERE! And I couldn’t be happier. Can you tell?

I’m pretty sure the squealing, yelling, and general bursts of crying joy have been a bit much. I apologize if it’s gotten out of hand.  I just can’t stop.  I continue to try to encapsulate the absolute magnitude of my awe but, I fear I haven’t quite captured it yet. Seriously, being asked to be a Windham Fabrics designer is one of the most thrilling things that has ever happened to me.  It’s like getting picked to work with your best friends on a major project, you pick the theme (SUCCULENTS), and you play.  Oh wait, this idea seems to carry me through my life everyday as I interact with this community of creative professionals in Indianapolis and beyond.  Each day is filled with people I deeply love and enjoy being around and I often say in wonderment “is this my life?”  I’m so honored and happy to be doing the work that I am.  There is a full circle of happiness that surrounds me and it’s a great place to be.  We definitely welcome you in to that circle of happiness at Crimson Tate whether it be in our physical space on Massachusetts Ave in Downtown Indianapolis or whether it be on the interwebs as the place where you connect with us, we’re glad you’re here.

To kick off a major celebration of Succulents, my debut collection for Windham Fabrics, we will be traversing the interwebs, peeking in on those creative professionals and seeing how they have used and interpreted the fabric.  From Eric Lubrick  (who is the bad ass photographer that took all of the photos in the Windham look book) to peeping inside the brain of world renowned quilter Karen McTavish (who my grandma loves) we’ll be traveling around this cool community gathering inspiration.  Here’s the rockstar line-up:

    Who would have thought that succulents would translate to such nice fabric! I have always associated the word succulent with prickly cactus, but never again.

    So nice to meet you and David at Quiltcon, Heather. I got so many good hugs it was amazing. I am responsible for Matt finding your fabric. I brought it back home after Day 1 of Quiltcon and was petting it so much that he had to go and buy some too. He also surprised me with the yardage that I was petting. Such a good friend. I am going to make my next little bag with your selvedges because I love them so much. Loving this line so much “I love them all!!”

    Congrats on a really beautiful collection. I’ve been seeing it pop up lots in my Bloglovin feed this week and I’ve enjoyed every glimpse of it. I’ll definitely be getting some in the very near future.
