The last collection that Anna Maria Horner designed for Free Spirit has arrived. AM Loves Hue is a "BIG" celebration of colour. The prints are graphic and bold and include stripes, colour blocks, diagonal ribbons, and other bold depictions of wonderful colour palettes.

Some of the repeats are so big we opted not to cut fat quarter bundles because you would not get all of the colours in a single fat quarters. Instead think in terms of larger cuts and use them as quilt backs, whole cloth quilts, take advantage of the stripes in a binding, or cut up the colour blocks to make use of where the colours come together. 

She also included four of her most popular prints from past collections and we couldn't be happier. We've used a couple of these as quilt backs and they are stunning, you almost want to flip the quilt over!  

We've included the ruler in the images on each product listing on the website. Be sure to check those so that you understand the scale before determining your yardage. 

 

Elise Young, a relatively new Figo designer, is a prolific block-printing artist and author. Folktale is our second collection from her, but the first in quilting cotton. Her hand-carved illustrations feature unique compositions of florals. We especially love how she used her floral motifs to create secondary patterns like her stripes and tiles.

Heather Ross By Hand, is Heather's first collection created from hand inked and hand painted artwork. Her illustrations of florals and animals (we love the burro!) have her iconic charm and signature palette. The scale is a little larger than her past collections so we've made sure to include a ruler image for all of the prints. 

 

We have found an alternative courier that is about the same cost as Canada Post so we're holding our flat rate shipping rates* for the duration of the strike. You can read more about it here. 

The time to deliver is reported to be about 5-7 business days so be aware it may take a little bit longer than you are used to with Canada Post. 

Please shop small business during the strike. These are the companies most impacted by the loss of this affordable shipping service and after a very challenging year, will need your support.

*There are a small number of locations that are not serviced by this courier, if you place an order and we discover that we are unable to get it to you by this means, we'll let you know and you can either opt to have it held until Canada Post is back at work, or you can have it shipped (for a premium) by an alternative courier.
