If you can't already tell, Christmas is well on its way here at the Shop! And we have a new collection heralding it's almost-arrival. Today the talented Debbie Taylor-Kerman joins us on the blog to tell us about her new collection Tis the Season for Henry Glass Fabrics. It has a slight antiqued holiday look, but the designs are unexpectedly cheeky and fun!
“Tis’ the Season” is my first collection with Henry Glass, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. All the wonderful folks at Henry Glass are just fantastic to work with and I think they have done an amazing job making my artwork come alive on the fabric - thanks to all involved, especially Karen!
Like most of my work, the “Snowmen Heads” were inspired by my kids. One of my greatest joys in life is reading to them. Ever since they were young, I was, and continue to be, deeply moved by their joy, wonderment and delight while we’re reading a picture book as they discover a little critter peeking out from under a leaf or a buzzing bee busying behind the flower petals. So the “Snowmen Heads” were created with one thought in mind - to delight my kids – isn’t that what we Moms all try to do in life :-) The "Snowmen Heads” depict small Christmas critters having fun playing with the snowmen and their wonky hats and scarves. I tried to create the same sense of fun in the designs that followed in the collection, whether it be the wonky polka dots and harlequins or the tiny Christmas critters frolicking with the Christmas presents. 
I love this collection, I was so thrilled when I first saw the fabric. I feel that the collection truly manages to maintain the fun and liveliness that I tried to depict on the original art.Labels: Guest Quilting Writers
