I am so excited to share with you my newest collection of fabric with Robert Kaufman, Mystic. The collection was inspired by my trip to Morocco in November 2014. This trip changed my life, as adventures to a foreign land should. Traveling for 12 days, a couple of them on my own in Marrakesh, on an Artist retreat with my good friend Amy Butler. We spent most of our time at this amazing "hotel" Peacock Pavilions just outside of Marrakesh in a small village.
As you can imagine I took A LOT of photos... how could you not - the color - the people - the textures - the architecture - the color! Of course out of this amazing adventure there has come some designs.... Before I show you Mystic I want to share a little of the beauty of Morocco.
The Medina... the center of the city.
I arrived a day early from the rest of the group and stayed at this beautiful hotel, Riad Idra, in the city.
This little hotel was such a welcoming place to be after 27 hours of travel....the people were friendly and so gracious. I felt as though I was staying in their home and I was an old friend.
The Souks... the marketplace in the Medina of Marrakesh.
This is just a small taste of the beauty that surrounded me in Morocco.
Now, I want to introduce you to the fabric....
This is Mystic....
This is the focal print Mosaic.... it comes in 5 colors....
This is Flora....
The Beads...
The Tile....
Grid....
The last design is actually from my collection In the Bloom, the Leaf. This pattern works so well with Mystic I had to re-color it.
This collection is so close to my heart as was the trip to Morocco. Stay tuned because for the month of January I will be sharing the quilts and projects designed out of Mystic along with their inspiration, more photos from Morocco....and of course some fabric to give away....
I hope you have a great day!!!
