Textile Designers We Love: Amy Butler

Amy Butler is known for beautiful fabric prints suitable for many types of sewing projects, including modern quilts like this beauty. The Nigella Quilt is made out of Amy's Nigella fabric line and is a great way to cozy-up any room.

Useful and stylish for the beach or a summer shopping trip, the floppy Blue Sky hat can be lined with a contrasting fabric for a fresh and modern look.

With a cool vintage vibe, this apron updates a classic 1950s style in Amy's Lotus collection fabric.

Amy's fabrics also work well as cut silhouettes. Download the pattern for these adorable shapes and add them to pillows or chic frames for a classic look.

Amy has recently printed her fresh patterns on beautiful stationery. She has two options in her new line: Sunblooms stationery box (shown here) and the Sunblooms correspondence cards. Both come in beautiful boxes that you can reuse after your stationery is gone.

Besides her beautiful fabrics, Amy is known for her simple-to-follow patterns. We especially love her tote bags like this one. The classic shape of Sophia Carry-All bag will fit everything you need for a day around town.
