Description
Kimberly Kight’s Strawberry print made its first appearance on quilting cotton and canvas in her collection Yours Truly, which came out in 2017. It was an instant hit that we brought back in various iterations over the years. Along the way, Kim’s strawberries have been featured on bestselling zipper pulls, ironing board covers, socks, tins, and more. It has evolved into Kim’s trademark design and has a large and enthusiastic fan base. As new sewists join the community, the demand for this classic motif has only grown. We especially love the people who try to collect all the past Strawberry colorways and work them all into one project! Strawberry 2024 is for loyal fans as well as new generations: Strawberries on quilting cotton, canvas, wideback, and cotton lawn, in an array of new colorways and a variety of layouts and scales.
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.
