We’re excited to share another sneak peek with you today! At the Lake, designed by Tara Reed, is expected to arrive in April, and we can’t wait!
When asked about the inspiration behind her collection, Tara said: “When I think of lakes or fishing, I think of a 1998 trip to visit my parents at Lake Tahoe when my son was five, and my niece was seven. My parents took us to a nearby stream for a fishing adventure. My dad had the kids pick out their sticks to make fishing rods. He brought string, and since he had no worms or bait, he decided that cheddar cheese would work just fine. My dad spun a tall tale about the “nibble fish” that lived in the stream , and how their favorite food was CHEESE. The kids loved it (even though the nibble fish evaded us that day). Some of the best memories are made of small moments, found sticks, and legendary fish who eat cheese. I often smiled thinking about this moment in time while working on the At the Lake fabric collection. I hope the fabrics bring fond memories to mind for you as well.”
What a fun story! We, too, hope this fabric collection brings up sweet memories of family time, fishing, and the outdoors. The cool color palette of blue, green and gray provides backdrop to fish, gear, wooden signs, paddles, plaids and bubbles.
Take a closer look at the Main print. We love the charming wooden signs, boats, bait, and fish. So fun! The Main print will be available in Navy (shown here), Gray, and Blue.
We always love a good fish print, and this one is at the top of our list! The tossed fish design makes this a perfect secondary fabric to incorporate into your projects. It acts as a fun accent to the Main print. Fish will be available in Blue (shown here), Navy, and Gray.
We love this Gear print! Every little detail you can think of when it comes to fishing gear is found here. Fishing hooks, waders, boots, baskets, nets, rods and more — it’s all there! This would be such a fun print to add to an I Spy project! Gear will be available in Gray (shown here), Hunter, and Blue.
The At the Lake collection also features this fabulous 36″ fabric panel. Add border and make it into a quick quilt, or cut the square to incorporate into a unique quilt design, bags, pillows and more!
We can’t wait to start creating with At the Lake! We’re dreaming up quilts, tote bags, table runners and more! What will you make with At the Lake?
