Aviary 2 is on it's way, and will be arriving in stores any day now! The collection features a combination of some of the most popular designs from the Aviary, Ginseng and Deer Valley lines in three new color palettes; Lilac, Granite and Saffron.
As soon as our nine-year-old saw the Lilac color palette, she had her heart set on having these prints decorate what will soon be her very own bedroom. To be honest, once I had the fabric in hand, I wanted to redecorate the whole house with these prints because they make me so happy. For me, these prints scream "Spring", and I am so excited for winter to be behind us.
So, while the basement is currently under construction to give us two more bedrooms, a design studio, a family room and a kitchen, I set to work on creating some bedding for Brooke's new room, using The Pendant Quilt pattern (available for download on the side bar) that Joel designed.
I also created this throw pillow out of the Plum Damask print decorated with a swath of hand-made ribbon roses. Her room is going to be so sophisticated and pretty. I can't wait to see the end result because I have a few more projects planned to finish out the space.
On Monday evening you can see Joel with the crafting divas, Kris and Kim of DIY Dish for the first episode of season 3.

Brooke's bedroom make over is going to be so pretty! Glad to see that some of my favourite prints will soon be available again - love the colour palettes.
What a gorgeous room this will be! Can't wait to see the "Heirloom" collection!
I can hardly wait to get some of this fabric. The colour palette choices are fabulous.
This is gorgeous fabric in some wonderful colors, and I love that pillow.
Awesome...I've always love the bird on the branch print. Great color combinations. Really looking forward to seeing Joel's new Heirloom collection.
I am so, so excited for Aviary 2! And Brooke is one lucky girl--that is going to be a gorgeous bedroom!
I'm looking forward to the release of this great fabric. Thanks for the quilt pattern, too.
I'm crazy about this new fabric! All three color palettes are beautiful!
I'm loving these new fabrics!! Great to use old favourites in fresh new colours!! And stunning colours they are too!!
Gorgeous! That quilt is amazing. The faux bois design gets me every time, especially in green!
Love Aviary 2 especially Lilac!!!!!
I'm with your daughter and you I love the color palate for Aviary 2. I just watched your husband create the darling bird pin cushin with DIY and now I have learned about you guys and I love what you do! I am a new follower now! The pillow for your daughter's room is beautiful and I know she will love her room when you get finished. Good luck with your show.
I love the 3 color palette in the Aviary 2 collection.
I absolutely am DYING over the Saffron collection. I cannot wait to get my hands on this! My daughter's room is probably going to get a remake =) You are amazing!!!
Wonderful collection, I love it :-)
Hi Joel and Laurie! Can I first say that I love, love, LOVE this line? I own an online fabric shop, and Joel, your prints are an absolute essential to my business. Your work is fantastic! And you're a fellow BYU grad to boot. What's not to love?
Aviary 2 is currently on the way to my shop (I live about as far away from the warehouse as you can, boo), can't wait. BUT. I just got some awful news. Joel, I'm sure you know, Free Spirit has decided not to sell this line as precuts of any sort. I am beside myself, as those are a large part of my business, and I KNOW they would sell so well on this line. Joel, is there anything you can say or do to change their minds? The quilting world everywhere needs these precuts! :)
Thanks again for all of your hard work!

Whoops, leaving one more comment so I can sign up for follow-up comments. Sorry!
I just ordered this line today for my quilt shop in Franklin, NC. I was so happy to see some of the popular designs again!
Love, Love, Love these designs! They're absolutely gorgeous. Your daughter is one lucky lady to have an entire bedroom crafted out of these beauties.
I just had crib bedding made for my unborn son in the Modern Meadown - Cool Stream collection - the colors are perfect!
Photos of the bedding here...

What beautiful fabric! I will have to purchase some!! I love your designs!
Ah, I love your prints. I'm stuck on them right now, actually. I just finished a baby quilt in Deer Valley, now I'm onto a lap quilt in Modern Meadow in Sunglow. I also bought it in Berry because I loved it so much. And well, I LOVE your new print too! Funny thing is, I had a long hex quilt almost exactly like this planned for the Modern Meadow in Berry. But I'm a new quilter so I'm thankful for the pattern help. I think you guys are great designers. Love what you do!
I love the Aviary 2 colors and fabrics. I too love the little birds on the branches. One question if anyone knows is the aqua color in the lilac palette the same as the aqua in the saffron palette? I love purple and orange together and I thought i might mix some of them up, but I wanted to find out if the blues match before I obsess about designing a quilt and then order. thanks!!
Laurie
I love the lilac group. Also thinking of making the pendant quilt for my daughters bed. Is there any way you could show a picture of the whole quilt. I would greatly appreciate it. Wanted to make sure I love it before I bite the bullet and order 17 yards of fabric. You guys are amazing.
Do you happen to have fabric requirements and perhaps a pattern for a smaller size? If not I can try to figure it out. I LOVE this fabric in all colorways - but since I have to pick one, its lilac all the way :) And your quilt pattern for this line is gorgeous! Ugh... in love.
Im also a little confused about the directions for the backing. It says cut 2 35x45 pieces for the back - I don't understand how you put these 2 together to make a 70 x 90 back. you would need 4 35 x 45 pieces, correct? Then side by side they would be a little smaller than 70 x 90 (seam allowances). Am I missing something?
THANKYOU FOR SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF FABRICS JUST PERFECT FOR WHAT I NEED...SO WHERE IN AUSTRALIA COULD I POSSIBLY PURCHASE THESE LOVLIES...???
Thank you all for making such a beautiful line. Is there anyway these could come out in Home Decor weight fabrics? That would just be so amazing in my home!
Hi - Beautiful fabric. I was curious how did you make those flowers that are on the beautiful pillow???
I absolutely love the entire collection. So many beautiful fabric designs and colors...so little time to do all I'd love to. I did use a bit of my precious "Blooms in Bark" to make a sleeveless top to wear this summer. If you are interested in seeing this fabric used in clothing, I've posted it on my blog: http://thimblesbobbinspaperandink.blogspot.com/2011/06/bloom-in-bark-sleeveless-top.html
I really want to use the Granite in my nursery, but can't seem to find it anywhere.
I am sorry to say that the granite damask was printed crooked (design was 3/4inch off from one edge to the other.) A 4 hour job doing a dust ruffle, pillows, etc. for a nursery turned into 8 hours of frustration trying to keep the design straight and keep it on grain. Also, the bird fabric was of poor quality compared to the others. Even though it looks nice in the end, we are very disappointed for the price/yard.
