Description

This collection is inspired by Kim Kight’s newest hobby: birding. Since last year, she has taken up the hobby in earnest. When she went on her first bird walk, it felt like a fairy realm was unlocked, and she found a deep well of inspiration. The Migration and Canopy prints were inspired by spring migration, Spark Bird has some popular backyard birds of North America people could identify, and Whippoorwill depicts the nocturnal birds that call through the night during spring and summer. The colors are so whimsically vintage, and the floral supporter prints are so vibrant and stand out on their own as well.

Kim Kight shares her love for vintage fabrics by reproducing historical prints or taking elements from their designs to create something new. Her favorite fabrics come from the mid-century period - the 1940s through '60s. She loves their quirky little designs that can be recreated in such a timeless way.

Kimberly Kight helped shape and influence the modern fabric and quilting scene in the mid 2000s with her very successful, now-shuttered blog True Up, but at heart she is a traditional quilter. From the time she started sewing she has collected vintage fabrics, scouring Ebay, thrift stores, and flea markets for the best finds. As one of the founding designers of Cotton+Steel, she took elements from these vintage fabrics and reworked them in fresh new ways for the modern sewer.
