PPC4- With Flying Colors

So right about the time I was wrapping up work on the Baggalista, I got this email from Clothworks Textiles asking me if I was interested in making up a bag in some of their new fabric for display at the Fall Quilt Market. They were willing to give me my free choice amongst their winter catalog... so of course my answer was...

YES! 


My only problem?

I knew that with the time constraints that I could really only commit to making one bag, and the fabrics were all so beautiful that I had trouble making my choice. (Too much choice is ALWAYS my nemesis!) 

But I fell in love with this wonderful and whimsical block print that was just the right size for the Baggalista flap.
I paired with an absolutely stunning turquoise lining and a multi-colored dotted fabric for the balance of the exterior. 


It was only when the fabric arrived in the mail that I learned that it was a Laurel Burch design for Clothworks.

I shouldn't have been surprised, because I am a HUGE fan of Laurel Burch's designs. I first fell in love with her magical cat fabrics years ago and have featured several of her designs in some of my earlier sample bags.


Here's the details for these fabulous  fabrics, all by Laurel Burch for Clothworks Textiles.

Front & Back detail: Flying Colors II
Purse Exterior: Basic Color Dots
Lining: Basic Triangle Blue

These incredible fabrics, along with the rest of the Laurel's collection, will be making their debut at the Fall Quilt Market in just a couple of weeks.

So if you like what you see, you might make mention of them to the independant fabric store near you. From what I understand, they'll be available for shipment sometime this winter.

 I think these fabrics made our Baggalista look GREAT, don't you?

So...what fabric designer is an inspiration for YOUR creativity?
