Sonnet!


SONNET

I'm so excited to share my first line of fabrics with all of you,
Sonnet with Newcastle Fabrics!
I'm a hopeless romantic, and often name my quilts from lines in poems, 

like The Star Splitter by Robert Frost, 
or Goodbye my Fancy by Walt Whitman

This collection reflects the fabrics I love to use most often. Colors that are 
my normal "go to" palette are "red, yellow, pink, blue," and
Adding in the comfort colors of chocolate brown and a deep navy...
I am a girl who loves her jeans and chocolate after all!

I love Beauteous floral fabrics, and small Celestial prints that have a lot of color.
I adore border prints and fabrics that run light to dark, rather like a good sonnet!
One can never go wrong with great looking (flattery) plaids, 
and a graceful modern floral as well!

The prints are named from words in Sonnets like Beauteous, Celestial, Flattery and Grace.

I can't wait to have you playing in them!
Coming fall 2013

Request the line at your local quilt shop!



 Swing by New Castle fabrics at their website, 
and/or at booth #1737 at Quilt Market next week in Portland!

  18. Can't wait to see the dress you make out of YOUR fabric! I am seeing a cute dress using the border fabric at the hem. Have a wonderful time at Portland and I am wishing you so much success with this line that you will get to continue to design fabric!

  23. I may be a bit biased but I think this is one of the best new lines to come out in a while. This is not some line of simple computer generated random shapes. It has meaning and shape and color and texture. It is brilliant Victoria and I cannot wait to get my hands on some of it! P.S. My first thought was I want a dress too.

  24. oh this fabric line is just fabulous! Finally someone who also love fabric that change color/pattern along the width - those are my favorite too!!! And then NAVY!! Been waiting for navy to get into a spotlight - one of my favorite dark colors too!
    Congratulations and I really can't wait to see this fabric "live"! It will be tough to decide what to make first - quilts or pretty dress, skirt...
