At last, my friends, here is Freshcut. My debut collection of fabric for Free Spirit is all stacked and pretty before the flurry of sample-sewing begins. What a relief and a thrill to get my hands on these fabrics after babying each design to completion.
Each pattern began as a rough pencil sketch. Then, through a series of refinements, including re-draws, transfer paper, paint and a scanner, the designs were entered into my computer where I perfected the repeat and tinkered with the colors.
Though there were certainly a couple of steps in the process that will be eliminated the next time around (now that I know better what I’m doing), I’m grateful for the things I’ve learned along the way. I’m even more grateful for the help and patience I’ve received from my family and friends to see me through this new adventure.
So, without further ado, I’ll attempt to explain my intentions with Freshcut…
Hmmm. Where to start? Well, I love fabric. Love it. In fact, I have a towering collection of fabric. When I first started to sew, as a young girl, my mother would take me to the fabric store to pick out the exact fabrics for my quilt or project and I would carefully choose fabrics that coordinated ‘just so.’ Later, as a college student studying fashion design, I had projects due too frequently to take a trip to the store for each assignment.
I began to stash fabrics that I found unique or that spoke to me on a deeper level. It was back then that I learned to appreciate the unique flavor of a design that’s been assembled from a treasured collection. Having an assortment of fabrics on hand freed me to be more experimental with color and print combinations and my aesthetic grew both more sophisticated and more playful.
With Freshcut, I wanted to capture a bit of the charm and energy found in a treasured fabric stash, by offering an unexpected assortment of prints and colors that somehow ‘work’ with each other. Several of the designs have a romantic and vintage flavor, while others lend a quirky and modern touch. Each palette offers colors that resonate with each other rather than ‘match.’ And, the colorways are meant to ‘cross-pollinate’ for a greater variety of combinations.
I am honored to be working with Free Spirit, a fun-loving company with a reputation for excellence, where I have been kindly supported and encouraged. The quality of the fabric Free Spirit produces is impeccable and it’s a real treat to see my designs executed with such care.
When I get my website together, I’ll be sure to include slides of each fabric, so the designs are easier to see. Until then, here is the full stack – all 40 fabrics.
I’ve also had a number of people email me to ask more about my design process. So, in the coming weeks, I’ll be spotlighting a few of these designs, juxtaposing my original sketches with the resulting fabric.
For now, you can read more about Freshcut, my studio, and my take on the online craft community at Quilter’s Buzz. There’s also a little bit about Freshcut in this month’s Country Living Magazine. Exciting times!
Anyhow, thanks for your interest and support and for taking part in my big debut!
Love,
Heather

You must be so thrilled to see your stuff – colours, design etc – out there for everyone to admire. Congratulations!
You’ve done a great job! All of those fabrics are so pretty and useable (spelling?). I sometimes see fabrics in coordinating sets that don’t seem to work, but yours all look wonderful.
They are absolutely beautiful (colorway two is my favourite!). You should be very proud of the end result – you must be on cloud nine seeing the fruits of your hard work. Congratulations!
wow, great job!!
Congrats on such an elegant and inspiring collection. Please please please make them available to overseas (Aussie) customers.
Oh, wow Heather. I can’t wait to see them somewhere in person because they look fabulous on screen. Congratulations!
Heather, congrats to you, they are beautiful!! I already see some that I need to snuggle with a while, then make something out of. (And I’m not kidding here). Wonderful to finally see them. They are babies, aren’t they? You’ve watched them grow from itty-bitties.

Oh Heather!They are wonderful! Do we really have to wait until 2007? It sounds so far away!

Congrats.

Congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment. They all look beautiful… hope they’ll be available in Australia! 🙂
i have never studied fashion and stuff. just recently discovered that fabric design is such an interesting thing! it would be really great (and educational for me 🙂 if you’d tell a little about how your designs developed.
i wonder if your fabrics will be available in europe? ahh it would be so cool to see them in real life!
Love it Love it.. Would that be for sale here in Europe? I love how it matches but not matches…..
ugh!……beautiful fabric!
It is so wonderful that you get to be in a line of work that you love. And to be learning so much about the thing you love. I saw the bit in country living. job well done.
Just beautiful – you have a real eye for pattern and color. Congratulations!
How fabulous, Heather! This must be so wonderfully fulfilling for you. I look forward to your fabric debut in 2007 and plan to get some for myself.
Oh, I love it!!! Love it, love it, love it!!
Freshcut…so beautiful! I want it…I want it ALL!!!
Simply outstanding! Beautiful! You must be so proud – congratulations! I can’t wait to see it in stores!
Gorgeous!!! And I saw your mention in Country Living, how exciting!!! Wow those fabrics are amazingly beautiful. Lovely!!! Great job, you are a wonder!
Those are beautiful! When Free Spirit began to attend the textile shows several years ago I was so excited to have a new vendor. I used their fabrics in my former clothing line and found them to be of very high quality. Now, however, I don’t go to those markets so I’ll have to wait to see the fabrics at stores. I hope they’ll be available soon!
congratulations heather! you are such an inspiration 🙂
Wow. Congratulations on your upcoming fabric line. I am sure it is very satisfying to hold the fabric you designed in your hands as a finishd product. Your fabrics are so beautiful, I cannot wait for them to be available so I can indulge in some new fabric!
Ohhh my my my!! So incredibly sweet, edible, and yes…..like fresh cut blooms!! LOVELY in every way!! BEST BEST WISHES!!! Not sure if you know Jennifer Paganelli…(she is one of our dearest friends)…she is the gal behind SIS BOOM fabrics..also at Free Spirit!! more candy..less fresh cut if you know what I mean..check out her site… http://www.sisboom.com She is a SWEEEETHEART!! I was so excited when I read about you being with Free Spirit as well!!…Cannot wait to see your fabrics popping up all over the place in all sorts of shapes/forms and worlds!! LOVELY!! xoxo Jenny

These are fabulous!! I love the colours & combinations…

Congratulations Heather! What a spectacular achievement. Gorgeous and yummy. Can’t wait to see your pattern ideas. Too often designers don’t get involved in that step and the samples don’t do their own fabrics justice. Looking forward to great things from you.
Gorgeous fabrics! I can’t wait to order some, and for your patterns to be released. Great job – congratulations!
Wow. Absolutely gorgeous. I am so impressed (and drooling a bit!). Congrats to you!!!
Wow! I don’t even sew, am not really fabric-crafty, but gosh – love these fabrics. Would love to have them piled up in a lovely little stack. Can’t wait to have a chance to play with these. Might even have to learn how to thread my dust-covered sewing machine. Gorgeous!
Heather, your fabric is STUNNING and your patterns will be too (The bag? Those shoes? Inspired!). Congratulations on all your successes – you are one clever woman!
congratulations! these are beautiful!
How am I ever going to wait until early 07 for these gorgeous fabrics!!!?? I cannot wait to get my hands on them – I have THE most perfect quilt in mind for them. You are one very talented young woman Heather!!! What a dynamite team you and Isaac make!
Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations on such a wonderful return on all your hard work. 🙂
Wow, wow, wow!!
This fabric is simply exquisite. And a huge BRAVO!! to you for having a vision and making it happen. So great… Ugh. Now I want to buy them. Now! Now! Now!
Congratulations! They look incredibly beautiful. xx
absolutely stunning.
oh. oh my. those are simply wonderful. there are quite a few i would like to add to my stash… wow. and oh how fabulous it must feel to have a pile of your own fabric!
i just came across your website recently, but i will be returning again & again. and i can’t wait to find your fabric in a store!

Mother of Pearl! These are stunning!
Congratulations! Your story is amazing, how this has been a part of you for a long time. Where will these lovely fresh cuts be available?

Congratulations on the new fabric line! Each one is absolutely gorgeous, and they all do look so good together! Can’t wait to see them in shops…
Wow. Your fabric designs are amazing! Congratuations on getting it all out there. I am especially in love with the first stack and can’t wait to get my hands on some of it. Do you know when they will be in stores? It must be so thrilling to finally see the outcome of some hard work on your end. Congratulations and happy sewing!
These are the most beautiful fabrics I have ever seen. The designs and colors are so refreshing. As a designer I really appreciate your explanation on the design process. Congratulations!
Oh my, these are gorgeous – are they coming to England?
Wow! Those are amazing, gorgeous fabrics! Congratulations!!
yum…that’s all I can say! How gratifying to do a whole coordinating group with colorways, quite an accomplishment. I have been in the fashion industry for years and have designed a few prints in my time. Nothing more gratifying than seeing the final product! Great job!
oh, that fabric is beyond words beautiful! can’t wait till it’s available for purchase.
Just breathtaking!! I will be looking for your fabrics — I have bedroom window just waiting for me to make a window treatment!!
Those are gorgeous!! Congratulations! You did a stellar job! I can’t wait to get a chance to see them in person! Thank you for sharing with us!
Bravo! What a fun line. I adore color scheme 3 and definatly will need to make myself some sort of patchy-funky skirt. The colors are just great against eachother – almost matching prints – yay.
LOVE this stuff!! Congratulations on your beautiful new line of fabrics. Can’t wait to place my order and start sewing!
Wow! You’re fabrics are absolutely beautiful. I really look forward to when they’re available in stores. Thanks for sharing the gorgeous photos and talking a little bit about the process. It’s very interesting. I’d love to see the sketches you mentioned. Congrats!
Congratulations! They are beautiful fabrics.
I have an obsession with textiles as well (I love collecting swatches and mixing and matching them).
I just wish I had the talent to actually DO something with the fabric.
Your fabric and patterns are gorgeous. I look forward to seeing what your next project will be.
oh so droolworthy!!!! where can we buy it!?
The colors are SO wonderful!!! What talent! Congrats and here’s to many many seasons to come! 🙂 I can’t wait to get the fabric! hehe!
Just wanted to add my name to the long list of people who love the fabric!
I’m enjoying your blog – excellent pictures! – and looking forward to seeing all your new fabrics and patterns.
Oh my gosh, I must have some of each fabric!!! These are all my colors!! Congrats to you!
WOW- All of your hard work has paid off- the fabric is gorgeous! Congratulations!!!
Wow. SO pretty!
You should be so proud. This is soemthing that I would love to do before I get old. I love textile design. Your work is really ecclectic. Vintage::Modern. It works so well. I would love to know more about the process. DO you use a particular software package for the repeat process?
Congratulations, you have created something very special.
Congratulations Heather! I can’t wait until your Freshcut hits the quilt shops. You are so talented and your hip & fresh designs/art really speaks to me.
I recently used some FreeSpirit fabrics on a shop quilt I made and I HAVE to say… that was THE BEST fabric I have ever used (and I have sewn with a LOT of fabric)! FreeSpirit pressed, cut and sewed sooooooo smoothly and it felt like clouds on my fingertips. If Barry White were a fabric… he’d be a bolt of FreeSpirit! How awesome that your line is with such a wonderful company!
Heather – These are wonderful designs and really play well together. You have a great sense of color. I’ve recently started freelancing part-time as a pattern designer and its by far the most fun work I can think of.
Congratulations, Heather! What a very exciting thing!!!
Congratulations Heather! This must be so exciting for you, and the fabrics are lovely! Can’t wait for them to hit the shops 🙂
What a talent you have. Your designs certainly do have loads of charm and energy.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with next. 🙂
what a bunch of lovely fabrics! congratulations on your new line.
I cannot even imagine creating anything so beautiful! I’m just thrilled for you!!
Can’t wait to get my hands on it too 🙂
congratulations!!
wow, i would love to buy all 40 but then never use them, just have them stacked about my room to admired.
Congratulations Heather! I can’t wait to get my hands on your line! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful designs and as well… I think because of your line, it’s going to attract an huge new younger market to quilting!
oh my!!!! they are just wonderful. BRAVO!
Heather, they are just beautiful! I can’t wait to sell them. You must get Free Spirit to fix the images in the retailer section;-)

i just have to add my congratulations to the long list here…what beautiful fabric!!
Hello!
I just found your blog thru Flickr and it’s wonderful ^_^, can’t wait to read you more.
Good luck and have a great day!
I got my Hancocks calolog today and your line jumped out at me like no other. I’m redecorating my bedroom and thought: Blinds! Drapes! Bedskirt! Cushion covers! Must have swatches!
But Hancocks has all of your stuff on backorder! Grrr. Must be patient. It will be a tough decision — I truly love each color way.
Yay! My FreeSpirit sales rep paid me a little visit today – JUST to show me your fabrics – which I had already ordered for my shop. I am so impressed with the entire line, I had to buy it all – there was not an ounce of “fat” to trim! Stunning! I KNOW this is going to be a HUGE seller! Thank you for sharing your talent with the world!
Hello Heather
Juste discovered you blog. your fabrics are wonderful. I love the 3 colorways. Can we find them in France ?
I’m so late in commenting here, but just wanted to join the others in saying a big congratulations! The fabric is really lovely, and I can’t wait for it to be available! I also really enjoyed reading about you on Quilter’s Buzz. Loved the part about your studio giving you close access to your kids, and them to you, and tending the soup and rising bread. Yep, really like that.
Hi Heather. I own a quilt shop in Wichita, Ks and I just recieved a shipment of your fabric. I must say it is TOO DIE FOR!!! The colors are incredible. Thank you for a job well done!!
Hi Heather, I love your work…which i accidently stumbled across looking into fabrc designers on the web. Your designs are very fresh and vibrant . They have given me the inspiration i needed to get back into creating myself . thankyou!!
Heather, my daughter in law selected two of your fabrics for baby quilt. I need to match the light brownish green to tie the two fabrics together. In the future, you might want to include some plain fabrics with your unique colors for use in quilting.
Thanks,
hi heather,
i just designed a patchwork bag for Adorn with this collection. it was so fun to work with!!
It must be so cool to have your own name on the edge of a piece of fabric. I haven’t seen any in stores, do you know of any good on-line sources to buy it? Can you get it straight from the Fresh Cut website?
I just love the pinks and greens.
Elisabeth
Absolutely beautiful. Where can we buy them? I have added you to my favorites. your site is very informative. I love the tutorials. I am going to try the yo yo’s. Thanks, Chris
I can’t beleive I have accidentally stumbled upon your blog tonight! I went to a quilt store today looking for Amy Butler and Michael Miller fabrics, and I stumbled upon yours at “Quilt Trend” in Columbus, OH, and I fell in LOVE! I ended up buying more of YOUR fabric than any other name, and I wanted to buy it all!! Fantastic fashion forward colorways, great layering of pattern and visual interest. They are just beautiful. I intend on making some beautiful things with it. I would say “good luck” to you, but you don’t need it! You have got style girl! =)
W-O-W!!! Quite the collection! You should be very proud!
i don’t know how i missed your lovely fabrics!! may i ask if there’s any way to buy online?? i live in HK =)
i just love everything you have done! you have inspired me, and I love your husbands photography.
I am not by any mean a seamstress but I saw the Material girls launch and just wanted to say CONGRATS!!! THAT is the the most beautiful fabric by far I think I have ever seen. Full of color and just beautiful patterns. I wish you well, GOOD LUCK!!!
Thanks for a wonderful site and fabrics…they are fabulous (Fresh Cut)!!!!!! I am excited to see your next collection ;).
Resonate—perfect I tell ya! Makes me want to get out my best vase!!!

These are amazing! I can’t wait to buy some to make aprons with!
Beautiful. I just found your blog and my daughter has a skirt made with two of your fabrics. I bought it from La Te Da and picked the fabrics from what they have. How nice to now know the story behind the fabric.
I just had to research your fabric, since I have recently bought two bags and an apron made on etsy with your fabric, all of which I just love. All of the designs are from this collection, and I just have to say that I love your fabric and I wish I had discovered it sooner! Every design is just so lovely and original. 🙂 Congratulations!
Je vous félicite pour cette magnique oportunité!Je vous souhaite beaucoup de courage et bonne chance.

Hello,
I just love your fabrics and was wanting to order them. Where can I go?
wow…congratulations!!! these prints are beautiful. can’t wait to add some to my stash!
The feeling i get looking at your beautiful fabric designs is joy. the colours are soo uplifting. I love it. I am also interested in knowing how to get started on such a project. I also have a few doodles and drawings that i feel would look wonderful on fabric, I’m just not sure where to start.

hi heather,
this is my first time visiting your site. i had the honor of meeting you, not personally at the expo this past weekend in chicago. i love your fabrics they are so inspiring. i love prints and someday hope to design my own fabrics.
Ordered some at my favorite e-shop. Can’t wait to have them on hand! I love this collection.
Hi,I’m Hannah.
I just love your fabric.
Can you tell me where I can buy your fab.?
I live in L.A.
Hello Heather, I’m looking for fatquarter or half yard bundle of the 3 colorway, I would love to find a online shopping that carry the complete collection… it seems I haven’t luck so far, I can buy only some color of this beautiful collection, could you suggest me where to buy the entire line? Thanks in advance, Giusy
Orray! Heather, I’m so happy! this morning I found out a web shop that carry all the 3 freshcut colorway’s fat quarter bundle collection! I bought them immediately and now I can’t wait to receive them! Some days ago, I bought some half yard, but having the whole bunch it’s great! thank you again for such beautiful fabric.
I have good news. We’ll be launching the Heather Bailey online store in the next month or so & will be offerring the entire Freshcut collection. We’ll be selling it there until the Free Spirit warehouse is bare of Freshcut. Watch for an announcement on my weblog as soon as the store is ready to go.
Congrats Heather, your fabric is GORGEOUS!! I can’t wait to get my greedy little hands on some and start sewing.
Congrats Heather, I cannot wait to get my greedy little hands on some of your fabric and start sewing!!!
Oh how talented you are as a designer! Color way 1 is my favorite.
Did you make the wonderful mannequin pin cushion as well? Just adore that too!
As a knitter and crocheter, I will someday learn how to sew, too.
Gorgeous!! Where can I buy it???
wow!
I joined the cotton patches free spirit club at Christmas, and your fabric arived a couple of weeks ago, they are sooo delicious, I had only blogged last week about them, and how they are too nice to cut!
I do have a project in mind for them, and if I can bring myself to cut them, rather than just look at them, I will send the photo!
Only found you via the baby booties, didn’t connect the names!
well done you!

Hi Heather. I love love love your designs. I’m interested in purchasing some of them but having some trouble. I have sent sarah roughly around 6 emails and have heard nothing. So then I called the freespirit number and they were no help at all. boo 🙁 How and from where or whom can I purchase your fabrics? Please help.

I LOVE your fabrics – so fresh and beautifully bright. I’ve just finished several new projects in your fabric.
