ya’ll are all most likely familiar with amy butler’s fabric design, right?  anytime i walk up to a new fabric that i love, i’m not surprised to see that it’s usually from amy.  my home, sewing room and etsy shop are all full of amy butler fabrics- and just having them around seems to inspire my space and my creativity!  my only problem is that i often have a tough time finding matching fabrics to use in my appliques.  often, if i put pattern on pattern it’s too busy for the eye, or it just doesn’t look right. so, you can only imagine how i was excited to see this:

amy butler solid fabrics!  my sweet momma brought me  a stack of her beautiful solids yesterday and boy did i swoon.

see what i mean?  now i can use solids on prints and they don’t get all lost in the mix.

you can find them online, or call my mom’s quilt shop, a stitch in time, to order them directly!  they’re by far the most beautiful solids i’ve ever seen- and she’s got just about any solid you would need to match any amy butler fabric!

my mom surprised me yesterday with amy butler’s midwest modern lifestyle book! isn’t she sweet?  my jaw dropped as i flipped through all 224 pages of amy’s inspiring images and story lines.

page after page, she lets us into her whimsical home and studio, beautiful kitchen and outdoor gardens.

she talks about her life, her business and design process and gives us an inside peek into what inspires her work.  with how-tos in every chapter she draws you in with incredible images and design work.

if you look to nature for inspiration or love learning about successful artists, amy butler’s midwest modern is a must read.  i’ll be flipping through it’s pages many more times as it left me feeling uplifted and creative.  enjoy!
