We can't remember where we found Amy Butler, but scrolling through her website is like opening up the windows on a sunny day. Bright, colorful, poppy fabric designs will make you smile as they work their way across pillows, bags and books...
Of course, we're interested in the pillows and the straight-ahead fabric. Based in Granville, Ohio, Amy has successfully separated herself from all of our NYC trends and aims for the intimate. Her collection of vintage fabrics is a definite influence, but her colors and composition are totally contemporary.
Her site features pics of her studio along and links to see all of her fabrics, sewing patterns, books and stationary. For a list of where to buy Amy Butler fabric, click here.

Her book, Midwest Modern, came out a little over a year ago, and it's chock-full of this kind of inspiring eye candy!
Her fabrics have inspired me to learn how to sew. I'm on my third lesson, and I love it!
I love her fabrics. The colours and designs are brilliant, everything matches perfectly with each other and the quality is really good. I'm still a beginner at sewing, but I love to work with her fabrics.
I had someone on Etsy make a shirt for me with her fabric. Everytime I wear it, people smile at me on the subway and enquire. Engaging colors & patterns.
She offers really fun pdfs on her website for free. Products ranging from pillow patters to fabric flowers. There are a few fun options for a rainy afternoon
i have not been sewing for years - now i can't wait to get going again...these fabrics are so inspiring.....
