ann kelle aurifil thread kit

June 09, 2014

ann kelle aurifi thread kit

I have some exciting news to share with you!  I created a custom Aurifil thread kit, full of my favorite colors! Aurfil has SO many gorgeous colors, so it was kinda hard narrowing down the colors. For a couple of seconds, I considered having an all pink kit, but I thought that would be totally unfair to my other color friends. In the end, we decided to coordinate the kits with my Remix prints. There are two sizes to choose from. The big set includes 12 colors (1422 yards each) and the small set includes 10 colors (220 yards each).  The kits are popping up in stores. Be sure to ask your local quilt shop about them!

new “this and that”

April 28, 2014

this and that / ann kelle

Super-duper excited to share these new prints with you today! We’re adding three new prints to my collection, This and That. This growing collection is full of my favorite things. Sunglasses, nail polish, and flip flops are all fun staples in my life. I wear sunglasses regularly, and flip flops everyday. Oh, and my affection for nail polish started at a young age. Although these prints are part of my daily life, they scream summer to me! Like a good day of relaxing under the sun with a freshly done mani or pedi.

new cake fabric

April 21, 2014

confections / ann kelle

I have a confession, I draw sweets because I can’t eat sweets all the time. I would LOVE to eat cake for breakfast, everyday-all day, but sadly I can’t. So, one day I sat down and drew cakes. All sorts of cakes. Cakes with chocolate. Cakes with strawberries. Cakes with sprinkles. You get the point. Lots of cakes. This new print is part of the Confections collection and ships to stores this month. And now I want to eat cake.
