Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes Amarilys Henderson's style?
She's a working watercolour illustrator, and the fabric shows it — loose confident brushwork, saturated pigment, and poppies painted rather than drafted. Radiant reads like an artist's sketchbook translated to cloth.
How do I balance bold poppy prints in a quilt?
Big prints want big pieces — large squares, wide rows, or whole-cloth-style panels — with the Leaf Blenders and Geometric prints doing the small piecing. Cutting a bold poppy into tiny patches wastes the artwork.
What's the Over Flow text print for?
Personality — alphabet text works as binding, cornerstone accents, and I-spy elements in kids' and teacher quilts. Rainbow text on a reading-themed quilt is the natural pairing.
