Primrose Fabric Sample

When wallpaper was launched a few years ago, I knew textiles would eventually follow suit. Up until now, I’ve licensed my fabric, more novelty collections, with both Cotton + Steel and Hawthorne Fabrics. This work is geared more towards the quilter’s world of quilting cotton. As the wallpaper lead me more and more into the world of the home, I knew upholstery textiles were going to find a place in my heart and line of work. It seemed like the natural next step, and I’m so thankful to have a community of homebodies following along and supporting this journey.

I’ve heard it plenty: “I wallpapered one small room, now I’m hooked on pattern.” If you know, you know. Once you venture into the world of pattern-pairing, the concept is far less intimidating and feels more like a fun exploration of play and style.
