When we make a quilt – whether a bed quilt or an art quilt – we usually are aiming for a finished work that will last for a long time. Often we hope that the quilt will be around after we are gone. Often those quilts are also an expression of Beauty that captures a moment in time:

So many things in the natural world are of a fleeting nature, and whether you are a quilter, a painter or a photographer, you have probably gasped with delight at the fleeting beauty of sunsets, rainbows, flowers and butterflies. Often we drop whatever we are doing to fully appreciate those moments of transitory wonder. Perhaps we recognize that we are glimpsing divine perfection if only for minutes or seconds.

We have seen a lot of Butterfly fabrics over the years, but with the advancement of digital printing technology, these jewel-tone detailed fabrics are some of the most breathtaking designs created in the last few years. These fabrics capture those magical moments, and remind us of the impermanent nature of our existence.

When we see your orders come through the cutting department, full of sunsets, rainbows, flowers and butterflies…we smile and admire how you have combined the colors, the small and large scale designs, and imagine what beautiful quilt you will make from these fabrics.

Like the legendary Dragonfly that represents long life, may you live an expansive life full of joy and beauty, and may your quilts share your loving stitches for many years into the next generation.

sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
