I had a chance to catch up with Robyn Pandolph while we were attending
International Quilt Market last month. She is excited to now be designing for FreeSpirit Fabrics and she has been hard at work finishing up some new lines of fabric for them. (Read more about her switch to FreeSpirit here.)
“They are really giving me a chance to break out of my mold and have given me freedom to express myself in my designs,” she said. (She agreed with me that FreeSpirit Fabrics is really living up to their name “FreeSpirit” and giving freedom to their designers.)
She has already delivered the artwork for her new fabric lines to Free Spirit…and
they are beginning to work on them. We will be able to see these new lines in early 2007.
In the meantime, her line "Tickled Pink" (three pieces show above) is in shops now and she still has two other lines that South Seas Imports will be distributing. One is a wonderful Christmas line called “Holly Go-Lightly”
which should be arriving in stores now. Her final line from South Seas is called "Country Roads" and should be on shelves in July or August.
When I ran into Robyn she was shopping for trims and ribbons at Market and after our chat I asked to take her photo…but, we got yelled at for taking a picture in a trim and ribbon booth. So, Robyn and I took two giant steps sideways so we would not get yelled at again. The first photo (above) was “in violation”--the other photo (below) in the aisle just outside of the booth—is perfectly legitimate. Thanks for being a good sport Robyn!
Robyn said she is also working on updating her website, so check it to see her new lines, patterns and happenings.
