“When I designed this collection, I chose a different and more sun-faded palette from my first line. For me, the colors evoke end-of-summer sunwashed brights–kites, cotton candy, and your favorite sarong. Yet, I purposely included the bold colors and collage techniques from my first collection, COLLAGE, in this line so that they would play well together. Shops can order select prints (such as my solids) from COLLAGE to merchandise with PAINT.” “People are going crazy for the Swatch print and Weave! You may want extra of those!” -Carrie Bloomston

Carrie asked her friends on Facebook and Instagram if they wanted to play with some fabric. Carrie sent fabric to each of the twenty women and gave them a very meaningful assignment: to create a prayer flag of a certain size. She explained that the prayer needn’t be illustrated in the flag, but rather that they should fill their work with love and prayer as they sewed. The results are stunning. Each one is filled with meaning, heart, and soul. The prayer flags will be donated to a special organization.
Carrie is excited to be releasing a DVD for Interweave this summer! In it, she guides the viewer through drawing, design and composition basics for fabric collage to help people further enable their inner artist! Available in August. Talk to your Interweave rep to order for your shop.
