1 Focal Print 5 Bolts 10 Designs 33 Prints . . . Unlimited Possibilities!
What is a Designer Bolt?
The whole Nineteen Eighty-Five Designer Bolt collection is included in just 5 bolts! 1 continuous focal print and 4 bolts full of coordinating fat quarters. Brilliant, huh? As a bonus I have curated a 20 piece Fat Quarter bundle of Indah coordinates! That makes a total of 53 coordinating fabrics! And to make it even easier many quilts in this lookbook take advantage of the special layout of the Designer Bolt.

I’m so lucky to have Hoffman Fabrics as my fabric family. Aside from being able to tap into the rich history of a 95 year old company I have been blessed to work directly with 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation Hoffmans. In addition to being surrounded by a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and innovation there is an extensive story that is told just through the fabric. Ever since I first walked the floors of Hoffman I’ve eyed the archives with envy. With my third collection I got bold enough to ask permission to dig through the vaults. Be still my fabric loving heart! Of course as a child of the eighties I made a bee line directly to the 80’s prints. They were everything that I hoped. I worked directly with the amazing in house design team at Hoffman to have both my voice and the brilliance and boldness of these prints shine. I hope you love playing with them as much as I do!

Recs-n-Effect Quilt This 60” x 70” quilt was made with leftovers after making the Glam Clam featured in the lookbook. Here’s how: • Cut 50 - 6 1/2” x 14 1/2” rectangles. • Sew in color order along long edges to form 5 rows of 10. • Sew rows together. • Baste, quilt & bind as desired. • Enjoy!

Thank You! So many people contribute directly and indirectly to make this happen. I’m pretty sure I’ll forget a few people here but please know that I am forever grateful to you all! Thanks to my Hoffman fabric family for believing in me for three fabric lines! Thanks to the Hoffman design team for bringing my crazy ideas to life. Thanks to my one and only Shawn for supporting me in all ways as I chase dreams and sometimes rainbows. Thanks for believing in me no matter how crazy you think my ideas are. You’re the best quilt holder and location scout ever! Thanks or cheering me on at the starting point and at the finish line. I’m the lucky one! Thanks to my friend Courtney for being my sounding board and cheerleader, for taking off work to be my booth babe, for being the best quilt namer a girl can have, and for just being your amazing self! Thanks Sarah for helping make my Nineteen Eighty-Five booth look beautiful at Fall Quilt Market! So happy we’re brand sisters now. You’re going to rock the quilting world! Thanks to Mom & Dad and the rest of my crazy family for teaching me that it’s OK to be weird and different and special and well - just ME. Thanks Tia Curtis Quilts and Sew Together Stitching Lounge for always answering my long arm SOS calls when I’m down to the wire. Thanks Alison Schmidt for all the red lines that ultimately take my patterns from good to great! Thanks to all of my supporters - for anyone that has ever bought a pattern, template or a fat quarter of my fabric and to every student that has granted me the space to teach. You allow me to wake up every day and do what I love and for that I’m forever grateful.
XOXO
