Riley Blake Designs presents For the Love of Nature

I’m so excited to be sharing my first fabric line with Riley Blake Designs. For the Love of Nature will be in quilt shops this fall and shops are pre-ordering now.RBD Quilt Market cover sm

After a 10 year hiatus, I’m back designing quilting fabric and it feels so good!

Inspiration for the line is exactly what the title reads…..

Living on 5 acres in Michigan surrounded by farm fields, ponds, creeks, wooded areas, a park and a river means we see a lot of wildlife. Our pond is directly outside my studio door and we’ve seen deer, fox, coyotes, racoon (at one time two baby racoons got into my studio!), quirrel, bunnies, wild turkey, Canandian geese, blue heron, green heron and all types of ducks. I feel blessed living among all the beauty.

In 2019 I designed a cross stitch sampler “For the Love of Nature”. The elements from the sampler where the inspiration for the fabric line as well.  Just this month I released the cross stitch chart pictured below.

The next three photos seem very light to me but remember these are the first strike-offs. The color will be corrected but I wanted to go ahead and show you the prints.

A HUGE  thank you to Cindy and the Riley Blake team for working on this line with me and for trusting in me and my designs enough to partner with me. I’m truly grateful.

If you like what you see, contact your local quilt shop and make sure they’ve pre-ordered this line. It will be in quilt shops this fall!

Blessings,

Teresa

Hi I just made a quilt with the Halloween Whimsy. It’s adorable and I’m happy now I have a new favorite fabric designer. Heidi
