Fat Quarter Tuesday – Amy Butler Lark

Amy Butler’s new collection Lark features an amazing range of colors and eclectic prints. I especially like the inclusion of several designs in a single colorway. They stand on their own and add complexity to the line as a whole.

Amy’s description of Lark from her website:

The spirit of this collection is inspired by one of my favorite style icons, Maxime de la Falaise. Maxime was chic and eccentric, coming from a bohemian family of artists whose unapologetic passion for art and creativity surely shaped her vision for her life. Lark is filled with my fanciful imaginings of what would have been the makings of her artistic world through her love of fashion, print, travel and exotic friendships. Her playful vision combined all of her favorite collections creating an atmosphere of warmth and spontaneity with just the right amount of modern glamour.

Lark’s print combinations have a rich, souvenir feel, lovingly gathered from a life of vivid experience. Glowing colors and velvety combinations of stylized florals are the foundation for perennially chic sewing projects. It’s been a total joy creating this collection and I hope Lark inspires you to bring out your inner design maven!

We have the entire collection in quilting cottons and home decor. The laminates are due next month.

I visited my parents in Missouri last weekend and found several vintage irons to bring home. I also had a note in my checked bag from TSA. Guess they were wondering why I needed 3 non-working irons. For pictures silly! Carrie had a fun time today taking this fabulous series of images that really show off the collection.

  

This week’s giveaway is for two Fat Quarter sets: Glamour on the left and Dreamer on the right. I like that combination.

I’m headed to Houston on Friday for a quick Quilt Market weekend. My plan is to take pictures with my phone and beam them to the Pink Chalk Fabrics Facebook page real time. Leave a comment telling me what you’d like me to report on. Your wish is my command (after I figure out what iphone app does that!)

How Fat Quarter Tuesday works:

  • Every Tuesday two items from the Pink Chalk Fabrics online store will be featured and given away the following week in a random drawing.
  • The first winner is selected from those who opened their Pink Chalk Fabrics e-mail newsletter during the week.

    Can’t wait to hear all the news from fall market. I especially love all the sneak peeks of collections to come and hearing the stories about the sample sale!

    I love Amy Butler (it was her Lotus and Belle collections that started my love affair with fabric!) and this just may be my fabric collection yet. Can’t wait to get my hands on some!

    I must say that I like the Dreamer set more that the other one, but I’m sure I could find something to do with any of these if I was the lucky winner :)

    Thanks again for the giveaway !

    THE AMY BUTLER FABRICS ARE LOVELY, BUT I THINK I LIKE THE DREAMER SET BEST

    Glamour and Dreamer. What great names. And the fabric is equally fantastic. Have a wonderful time at Quilt Market.

  48. Sarah
    October 26, 2011 | 10:20 pm

    I haven’t been this excited for a line of fabric in a long time. Both colorways are stunning and could work together so harmoniously. But due to my current obsession with blue, I’d have to choose Dreamer.

    Sneak peaks at upcoming fabric would be delightful…and I’d just love to get a feel for what it’s like to be there. I’m imagining a slumber party atmosphere.
