Debut day is here!

This is my sixth fabric line for Benartex Contempo Studio and I’m thrilled with it! There’s nothing more exciting than seeing your name on the selvage!!

Good Vibes consists of 10 colorful, saturated prints and 10 low-volume prints, all with a geometric theme. The fresh citrus colors of orange, lemon, lime, and turquoise are going to look great in so many kinds of projects!

And of course there are a few neutrals thrown in to make the line super useful as well as happy and beautiful!

This group is all about nostalgia for me. As a child of the 80s, it reminds me of good vibes and happy times with my family and friends. 

I spent my summers running through sprinklers, exploring my crafty side, watching TV with friends, and tinkering with computers—all while practicing my bubblegum-popping skills.

Would you like to hear the story behind each print? I hope this will jog happy memories for you, too!

Gumballs

This print reminds me of gumballs, jawbreakers and all sorts of “juicy” fruits! The colors make my mouth water for those sweet tastes that were a part of the past.

My most prized possession was an authentic gumball machine of my own that I could fill with whatever I wanted!

The scale of this print adds movement and interest, and I know you’ll find creative ways to use it in your quilts and bags and more.

Circuit Board

This low-volume geometric print comes in four delicious colors, and it’s all about computers. When I was growing up, we were the first people on our block to get an Apple II-E computer. We thought that machine was amazing!

I loved tinkering with computers and video games back then, and even now, the computer is a workhorse for my business.

TIP: If the right side of a fabric is too intense for your project, flip it over and use the back side for a lovely muted effect.

Slippin’ Slide

What is childhood without some slippin’ and slidin’? My siblings and I kept cool in the Las Vegas heat for hours on that classic plastic strip in our front yard.

These four summery colors in a medium scale look great against the smaller prints!

Good Vibrations

This print is the namesake of the entire collection, and it reminds me of movies, mixtapes and everything that hi-fi had to offer!

Have you tried light gray as a neutral in your quilts? You might be surprised at how nicely it plays with bright colors!

Bedazzled

This small geometric print brings out memories of my crafty side! In the 80s I added bling to my jeans and jackets and made a big mess with all those baubles and bits, but look where it has led today.

Interconnected

Another of the fun low-volume prints! Look closely and maybe you’ll see the interlocking roller skates in this design. I spent many Friday nights at the roller rink with friends, and I still get nostalgic when I hear those old songs. We were the original dance party!

Just like the Slippin’ Slide colors, there’s great movement in this print, and it will add zip wherever you put it!

Thanks for strolling down memory lane with me! I hope it made you smile, too!

All the Good Vibes prints are available as yardage and in bundles of half yards and full yards. I want to you to be able to get exactly what you desire!

Click here for the half-yard or one-yard bundles of saturated prints.

Gotta love the low volume and saturated prints—don’t they look great when they’re arranged so prettily?!

And it’s fun to see them in different combinations. Playing with fabric and seeing how it looks with different “neighbors” helps your color sense grow and mature!

Remember that you can use the lighter prints right side up or turn them over for a more subdued look. Any way you pair them, they are sure to dazzle!

I did a video to introduce Good Vibes to the world! See it here.

Since you can use the front OR back side, maybe the low-volume bundle would be a perfect addition to your fabric conservancy!

Since these arrived, I’ve been enjoying a rainbow of citrus hues!! My family often finds me with the fabric, happily stroking and dreaming and remembering all the happy times and the Good Vibes!
