Heather Valentine The Sewing Loft
Oh how I love thee let me count the ways. Or permit me to say this in a different way: I NEED this line. Oh do I ever need it.
Take a moment head over to the Windham Website and take a look at this delightful line. Heather named the prints Birdies, Positivity, Gridlock, Waves, & Little Villages and incorporates persimmon. You do know I love orange, orangey reds, red oranges, yada yada. (This further reveals my deep and abiding love for all things autumn. And the brown is Coffee, need I say more? Need I? I mean, coffee.
And this line doesn’t ship until July so check in with your local shop to see if they’ve ordered and if you can preorder all the things you want from this collection. (Hint: all of it)
