Introducing! all 24 patterns of Creative Thursday's newest fabric collection 'The Red Thread'. And a few of my favorite designs in larger sizes so you can see more detail.
There is a story behind the design and naming of this group and here it is: Growing up, my aunt in Germany often talked to me about 'the red thread' that runs through your life. It's a known story so maybe you've heard it?
The idea is that there is always a red thread connecting all the moments of your life and when looking back you can see it with complete clarity. How everything happens just as it should, in the exact timing that is meant to be.
In my own life I find this to be true and since I was little the idea of the red thread has always brought me comfort. What if? our life is unfolding just as it should, always guiding us to best possible outcome for what we are wanting, and all we have to is trust, enjoy and relax into it.
It's all to easy on the days when we don't feel like ourselves, like everything is scary and closing in on us ~ to lose sight of the greater picture.
As a child, I spent almost every summer in Germany visiting my family. I always left feeling more inspired than when I arrived and I let that influence also carry into the designs. Included are the lucky symbols of the mushroom {with tiny bunnies of course} the ladybugs and the flowerboxes spilling over with geraniums {there seems to be some confusion on what flower I designed in the pattern with the small green leaves, they are not pansies ;)}
You can purchase bundles, and select yardage by request at the shop as well as find it at a store near you by using Andover's store finder. There is also a free quilt pattern available for download, that Andover designed. Super cute with the little houses going around the border.
My intent with this fabric collection {when you are creating and sewing away} is a reminder, that all is well.
