🏔️ New in the Fabric Stash: Colorado Is Calling! 🧵
This one feels right at home at Sew Downtown.
Meet Altitude, created by Deborah Edwards and Melanie Samra. Inspired by soaring falcons, evergreen forests, misty mountains, and the quiet beauty of the outdoors, this collection is giving us all the Colorado feels.
Think serene grayed blues and greens, soft neutrals, dramatic ombré, beautiful textures, and plenty of depth from the darkest shades to the palest tones. 🌲
The collection includes a stunning panel, border stripe, textural tree prints, evergreen foliage, and an ombré that’s also available in a wide backing.
Colorado is calling… and apparently it wants us to start another quilt. 🏔️🪡
Come see Altitude in the fabric stash!
