I’d love to introduce you to Soul Mate – Amy Butler’s latest collection for FreeSpirit Fabrics. In fact, I’ve got three inspired projects for you to consider. Brace yourself for total breathtaking beauty! And thanks for indulging me and letting me introduce you to a few of my Soul Mates, too.
That Amy Butler. She’s a ray of sunshine. A precious lil’ lover. A bright shiny light. All the things super vivid and lovely and glittery; that pretty much sums up Ms. Butler. I love that cat dearly so when I was asked to make something with her newest collection Soul Mate, I couldn’t say no.
Introducing the first project, the *Footnote quilt pattern was calling my name with all 24 pieces of Soul Mate and 24 coordinating FreeSpirit solids, I knew this quilt was destined to be a stunner and eventually to live on my bed!!
Here’s my dad giving his seal of approval during the design process. He also came to the rescue by bringing me my mom’s sewing machine when mine crashed during the process.
I’m so grateful for Quilting by the Stitch who was able to quilt this duder beautifully! I really like simple, irregular quilting. These lines work like magic.
Bright colors totally found in nature, this collection is incredibly love infused and filled with wonder.
Want more inspiration? Here’s another beautiful Soul Mate inspiration. Carnival Pinwheels by Susan Guzman.

Try your hand at tote making with the Carnival Pinwheels Tote by Amy Butler and Susan Guzman. This tote is a mini version of the Carnival quilt, and is a supplemental pattern to Amy’s Spice Market Tote, which I have made multiple times!!

Love is love is love. And I love love love this collection of fabric. I love the way it looks in the *Footnote quilt. I just super love that Amy Butler.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t introduce you my dearest Soul Mate, Ms. Jamie MacDougall.
And here are a slug more of my favorite people in the entire world. My own personal collection of soul mates, soul friends, soul sisters and brothers, my super star seeds.

Beautiful quilts and beautiful group of soul mates you’ve got there!
It’s gorgeous Heather!!! You know I love the colors in this line and Footnote displays them in the most beautiful way! Fantastic job.
Awesome! So glad it will get to live with you. Isnt it wonderful to have such a great group of soulmates?
OMG, that quilt is AMAZING. You did such a great job! What a stunner.
I also enjoyed seeing so many of your loved ones, especially Jamie. My #1 soul mate is my husband—he’s my ride-or-die man and I love him to bits. I do have a small group of chosen family who I love dearly too and I’m so grateful for those kinds of friends. Collecting soul mates from different times in one’s life is the best.
