With
the Summer 2008 release of BONNIE
BLUE BASICS and BACKGROUNDS, Marcus introduces its first
collection designed by noted reproduction quilt specialist Paula
Barnes. The fabric line is a natural progression in a
long-standing collaboration that has developed over the years
between Marcus Fabrics and Bonnie Blue Quilts. She has now created
the perfect palette to accompany all of the reproduction fabrics
quilters love to use.
Paula has nearly 20 years of teaching experience in Dallas and
Houston quilt shops, and enjoys numerous distinctions and guild
affiliations throughout the state of Texas.
As one of three partners in Bonnie Blue Quilts, a company
specializing in Civil War, vintage and reproduction fabrics and
patterns, Paula is the exclusive designer for the company. She
designs beautiful reproduction quilts, incorporating today's
simplified quiltmaking tools and techniques. She also designed the
twelve quilt blocks for the Web Sampler Celebration II, featuring
Marcus' Civil War Classics collection by Judie Rothermel.
Paula's workshop and lectures include "Designing a
Quilting Studio", "History of the Quilts from Bonnie
Blue Quilts ", "Exchange Quilts," and others.
