Conservatory by
Heather Jones
Conservatory, my new collection of fabric with Robert Kaufman, was inspired by the Krohn Conservatory, a greenhouse in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio that was built in 1933 and is home to over 3,500 different plant species. I’ve been going there since I was a child, and it has always been one of my favorite places to visit. When I was in college, I took a drawing class in which we had to visit Krohn Conservatory and work on a series of drawings from life there, and this is what is at the heart of the collection. There are four botanical prints in Conservatory that combine line drawings and silhouettes of some of my favorite tropical plants: Monstera (Monstera deliciosa), Taro (Colocasia esculenta), Paper Plant (Fatsia japonica), and Dwarf Umbrella Plant (Schefflera arboricola). Additionally, the collection also contains a text print with their names, as well as a linear motif based on architectural details of the historic building. All of the prints have a hand-drawn feeling, with a variation in line weight and shapes. There are two colorways of Conservatory, and both are Kona Cotton coordinated, as I love to incorporate solid colors in my projects. The Sorbet color story, inspired by the colors of the sky at dawn and dusk, includes pale pinks, shades of violet, aqua and deep blue, and a bit of coral. Coordinating Kona colors for the Sorbet color story include Salmon, Peach, Primrose, Plum, Lilac, Ice Frappe, and Nightfall. The Garden color story contains more natural botanical hues including shades of jade green, navy and turquoise, pale yellow, chartreuse, and white. Coordinating Kona colors for the Garden color story include Wasabi, Zucchini, Kiwi, Sour Apple, Capri, Emerald, and Storm. Conservatory contains 16 SKUs and ships in November 2016. To celebrate the release of Conservatory I have designed four new quilt patterns. Palm House (pages 6-7) is a large-scale design that is inspired by a traditional quilt block; Solarium
(pages 8-9) is also a large-scale design that is a wonderful project to showcase your favorite printed fabrics; Hilltop Park (pages 10-11) is precut friendly and will be a free project through Robert Kaufman; and Horticultural (pages 1217) features four large-scale needle turn applique botanical designs that can be finished as either mini quilts or pillow covers. All of my new patterns will be available this fall. You’ll also find some of my favorite patterns from some of my favorite designers in this look book, to give you even more ideas about all of the many different ways that you can use Conservatory. xo, Heather
