A Little "Sweetwater"

Earlier this week I had the 

opportunity to attend a fun 

presentation by one of the Moda dream team designers,

  Karla Eisenach of

 The Sweetwater Co.

Karla lives just 45 minutes from

Fort Collins, down the road and then head east

out into the prairie.  She and her two daughters

have the creative and challenging job

of designing 2-3 lines of fabric each year

along with patterns and other fun things that

so many of us enjoy making and using.

I met Karla a long time along when

she was starting her business under the 

name Farmyard Creations.

Look, I still have some of her first fabric line 

while she was designing for Clothworks.
 (maybe about 1990)

She's had an interesting journey from

making little things, designing scrapbook paper,
 to now working with

one of the most well known companies
 involved in the quilting industry.

 Sweetwater's colors are clear and modern.

She shared what's new  and what will

be coming our way in the near future.

Their newest line being shown to
shop owners now is Boat House.

Their patterns are super cute.

They love creating word fabric.

Here's Hometown.

They asked anyone who followed their blog 

to send in the name of their hometown so it could be 

included on the fabric.

I see my hometown.

  

 One of their newest projects

involves iron on labels,

it's the Sweetwater Label Crew club.

Lots of fun projects with

cute, cute labels.

Maybe the next time

you're fabric shopping

you'll take a closer look 

at the fun and exciting fabric lines

of

"Sweetwater".

Until Next Time-
