Every time Amy Butler releases a new fabric, I start to drool. And if you’re a fabric aficionado your already aware that she’s released August Fields, her newest line of sateen home decorator fabrics. So I have taken to my favorite sites fabric.com and QuiltHome.com to check it out.
I have to say I am not as wowed as I have been over the likes of Nigella, Lotus and Midwest Modern, but there are still a few I like. The palette is a mix of earthy brown, red and orange tones and various shades of sea blues and greens. The patterns themselves are a mix, some follow the subtle charm and modern elegance we are used to and others breakaway from that and I found a bit busy and overdone.
There are some I just don’t like much like this and other ones I quite like, like this. Even though my feelings are mixed on this newest line, I am still ever impressed with Amy Butler’s talent and will continue to buy her fabrics and look forward to her later creations.
One of the things I love about a new fabric release, is seeing the fabric turn into new projects. People get excited and start sewing, it’s always fun to see how they’ve used it. Have you made something with this newest line? Post a comment with your creation!
