I'm so thrilled to share not one but TWO new patterns with you - Astria (star maiden) and Novalie (new star). Yes, both star themed projects were inspired by our recent Luminous pattern!
You can see Kate and I had had stars on the brain! Luminous is gorgeous (at least we think so!), and we love all of the different stars in the quilt. We thought it would be fun to carry on that starry theme in two new projects - and Astria and Novalie were born!
Like most of our collaborative projects, Kate and I played around with color. And no surprise to most of you - I went with a dark or nighttime color way for Astria. Felix definitely approved - he finds the rich colors make a nice backdrop for him.
Astria has sparkling stars that glitter and shimmer against a simple field - in my case, deep dark blue. Kate's stars shine in a sparkling citrus sky that evokes tropical sunrises.
While Astria is a lovely, large quilt, Novalie is a small but striking wall hanging size. It has a modern vibe, with tons of negative space that is PERFECT for fun quilting motifs.
To play up the modern feel of Novalie, I chose a selection of Island Batik solids. The crisp citron adds a nice accent against the architectural feel of the steel grays, blacks and whites. Kate chose sunny bright colors against a crisp white batik background. Both shine!
Good news - to celebrate the release of these two new patterns, we are offering special pricing on the patterns. Grab either Astria or Novalie at a special Launch price of $9 each (regularly $10 each), or if you just adore both, get a special bundle price of $16 for both! But hurry - these new release prices are only good through Tuesday (1/26/21) evening!
Head over to Kate's blog to see her fabrics for her versions of Astria and Novalie.
