Fleet & Flourish Reveal : :

If you follow Art Gallery on Instagram or Facebook you may have seen all the video snippets they shared yesterday of their Fall 2015 fabric collections. Amongst them was my very first full collection, did you see? It was such an exciting moment for me, and with it came ALL the emotions that come from realizing such a BIG dream come true! As I sit here today filled with so much joy, eager to share each print, I have to start by sharing that it's been a really tough year. Losing my Dad set in motion a deep need for me to make some major changes in my life. Positive changes, but difficult ones non the less. Not knowing where to begin with all that I could share, it just feels important for me to mention today that while I worked on this project, I've been working on myself. Changing, healing, growing, understanding, rebuilding myself around the loss I have suffered, into someone hopefully better . It's a never-ending process, I know, and although it's never easy, it's giving me courage, perseverance, and a deeper gratitude for what lies ahead. And I just want to thank you all for being here. For supporting my work, for encouraging me the way you all do. It's such an amazing gift. From the bottom of my heart - thank you!

Yesterday, AGF blogged the beautiful new Fall 2015 LookBook and that means I finally get to share with you all a closer look at Fleet & Flourish!

"A bohemian-meets-romantic edge, featuring an artfully selected range of deep colored florals and soft graphic designs accompanied by delicate lace. From bold pops of damson plum & different shades of graceful white, this collection effortlessly captures a feminine free-spirit."

The first colorway is Innocency featuring shades of purple - plum, orchid, & red violet with peachy pinks, light blue, and creamy whites. 





The second colorway is Tenacity featuring more red tones from a rustic crimson shade to coral & peachy pink paired with my favorite shades of blue. I love the range of colors in this collection in comparison to my smaller, Limited Edition collection, Wild & Free. These colors and prints have me dreaming of a million different quilt ideas and that's so exciting!





Along with these twenty quilting cottons there will be four knits, one voile, a brand new canvas substrate and a surprise (even to me!) wide back cotton measuring 58"-60," I can't wait for all of it! 



I'm really proud of this collection, and I REALLY hope you all like it! If you'd like to see Fleet & Flourish in your local shop, please make sure to ask for it! It will be shipping in December, so in the meantime I'll be busy making & sharing my Quilt Market projects & plans! I'm so excited and nervous too, I'd love to know what you think?

XOXO ♡ Maureen
