I'm loving the latest collection I designed for Makower UK! It's called Luxe and uses a rich colour palette of pinks, purples, blues and rusts with lashings of metallic gold. The idea for this collection was to produce a series of designs with two distinct colour palettes that also co-ordinate with each other. This is not an easy task and took quite a while for the team to work out. It means that they can all be used in a quilt design as well as other sewing projects such as cushions, bags and dressmaking.
The large floral is what we call the 'mother print'. It is the driving theme of the collection and tends to be very detailed and multi-coloured so that we can take colours from that design to create the co-ordinates.
The butterflies have been printed onto this pretty blush pink ground. This print also comes on a cream background and a green background.
Birds and foliage combine on this design that was inspired by William Morris and the Art and Crafts movement. This version comes in hot pinks and rusts and gives it a luscious modern feel.
Scattered seed heads in metallic gold sit on a warm pink background with a slight shadow effect.
The floral print also comes on a warm cream background.
I love a paisley design and this one comes in shades of pink and purple with heavy gold coverage.
The butterflies are all outlined in metallic gold.
A navy blue ground on the floral gives it a more classic feel and it's been mixed with rusts, blues and blush pink flowers.
The rust background of this seed head print is lovely and rich with the gold motif on top.
The bird and foliage design on blue gives it a more classic feel.
Paisley design in rusts and cream, highlighted by the metallic gold outline.
This mini floral adds a change in scale within the collection.
