This collection has been in the making for years. Literally. Originally I’d conceived it as a one-off, just a solitary collection that would tell an invented true crime story. But then I got to thinking… What if I build the lore a bit and create a series of groups that lead up to a quilting themed true crime collection, one where all the designs tie together? That’s how the tales of Fabric from the Attic, Fabric from the Basement, and Sleuth were born!

As a designer I really want to try to do something different with my fabric collections. I hope that with my designs I give a voice to all the weirdos out there like me who want to sew with something a little unexpected. I feel so lucky to be able to design for a company like @andoverfabrics who never limit my creativity. I don’t think another company would let me release a group like this, so it means more to me than you know to be able to put this out into the world. This collection may not be everyone’s cup of tea but no one can take away the pride I feel putting something different out there. After all, I know I’m not the only one listening to grizzly serial killer podcasts while I lovingly stitch together my quilt tops!
