Each of my pattern collections begins with a story.

Spring is a favourite time of year for me as we finally emerge from a seemingly never-ending winter. I was anticipating an early spring by working on this collection, so the story goes like this…

After a long season of closed windows and quiet indoors, Spring Unfolded captures the joy of stepping back into the open air. This collection is inspired by best friends gathering for a cheerful picnic - a blanket laid across fresh grass, the gentle hum of conversation, and the unmistakable feeling that life is blooming again…it’s a celebration of friendship, fresh air and the simple joy of spring arriving once more.

While working on this collection (mostly on days when the snow was still swirling outside my window) I was envisioning all my favourite things about spring. But foremost, I attempted to capture the feeling of being free of the indoors. For me, this meant walking my acreage and discovering new blooms daily and so this collection features an array of florals. Longing for floral patterns everywhere, I created a variety of designs that would compliment one another, excited by the opportunity to intermix these florals. Tiny simple blooms, large busy clusters, and trailing florals speak to one another without becoming overwhelming.

So go ahead…mix and match those flowers, and release the joy that it brings!
