Amalfi lemons, romantic florals, charming ceramics, and a little la dolce vita. Introducing my newest fabric collection for Art Gallery Fabrics, shipping in December!

If you’ve ever daydreamed about wandering the colorful streets of Positano, sipping something delicious at a little café overlooking the Mediterranean, or sitting down to a beautiful meal surrounded by flowers and hand-painted ceramics, then Aurelia Del Sole is for you.

My newest fabric collection for Art Gallery Fabrics is a love letter to the Italian seaside and all the little things that make it so enchanting.

When I dreamed up this collection, I was thinking about more than beautiful scenery. I was imagining the feeling of being there. The pleasure of a leisurely meal, the artistry of traditional ceramics, lemons growing along the Amalfi Coast, and flowers spilling over garden walls.

I wanted to capture a little of that everyday magic in fabric.

Of course, there are always my signature florals! But you’ll also find inspiration from Amalfi lemons, the charm of Italian ceramics, and the delicious colors and pleasures of Italian cuisine. It’s a hand-painted collection filled with romance, warmth, and the joyful art of living beautifully.

What Will You Make?

One of my favorite parts of introducing a new fabric collection is imagining all the ways it will come to life in your hands.

I can picture Aurelia Del Sole in beautiful quilts, of course, but I’m also dreaming about table runners, pretty cloth napkins, aprons, colorful bags, and all kinds of lovely handmade touches for the home.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to create a little Italian-inspired tablescape with handmade linens? Or a beautiful quilt that brings a bit of Mediterranean sunshine into your home all year long?

There are so many possibilities, and I can’t wait to see what you dream up.

Coming to Quilt Shops in December!

Aurelia Del Sole ships in December, and I hope you’ll start dreaming about what you’d like to create with it now!

For my quilt shop friends: I would love to see Aurelia Del Sole on your shelves! It’s a wonderful collection to inspire quilting, garment sewing, gifts, and home décor projects. Be sure to place your orders with Art Gallery Fabrics so your customers can start sewing up a little Italian sunshine.

For my sewing friends: If you’re as excited about this collection as I am, please let your favorite local quilt shop know you’d love for them to carry it! Your requests help shop owners decide which collections to bring in, and supporting our local quilt shops is something close to my heart.

Here’s to beautiful fabrics, a little daydreaming, and bringing a touch of la dolce vita into everything we make.

Ciao, amici!
