Today we celebrate Dia de los Muertos! Dia de los Muertos is a Mexican holiday that honors loved ones who have passed away. It is a celebration of the cycle of life! We are looking forward to the release of Kathy Cano-Murillo’s next collection, Amor Eterno, which is a collection that shares the beauty of this tradition. Read on for a preview of the collection and some ideas to celebrate Dia de los Muertos!
Amor Eterno
In this beautifully designed collection, Kathy chose to feature the Sugar Skulls as the main print. Available in three color ways, the Sugar Skulls represent death and the sweetness of life. The art is designed with the true nature of the tradition in mind and is joyous and colorful.
This 15 piece collection is full of stunning art and supporting prints and is accompanied by two panels and some special notions!
We can’t wait to show you more of this collection next year! Amor Eterno is shipping in April 2022. Love this collection? Make sure to let your local quilt shop know!
