I met Melissa Ybarra, designer of Iza Pearl,<\/a> as I was walking around at Quilt Market last fall. Her darling booth and presentation stopped me in my tracks. Melissa’s new fabric collection, Garden Party Tango<\/a>, (and no, I didn’t even make the connection between the name of her fabric collection and our new Garden Party Dress<\/a> until just now) works so beautifully with Oliver + S patterns! Melissa agreed to tell us a bit about her new fabrics, and she’s even hosting a very generous give-away of her fabrics! Read on for details. Here’s Melissa.<\/em><\/p>\n

Let’s face it, old man winter has completely overstayed his welcome in most parts of the country this year. But finally, little glimpses of spring, sunshine, and warmer days are popping up and bringing hope of sundresses and picnics and chasing butterflies barefoot. Garden Party Tango is the perfect collection to celebrate spring and all its loveliness!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I designed Garden Party Tango last April when, in Texas anyway, everything was blooming. The tulips at the park, the massive spreads of blue bonnets along the highways, and the crate myrtle trees that line my neighborhood streets were all shining in full floral glory. Spring has always been my favorite season, and it seems to show in my artwork. I love everything about it–the colors, the sense of freshness it brings, and the fabulous flowers and tiny buds in every shape and size that seem to be dancing everywhere. It’s always sunny and 77 degrees in the land of Iza Pearl.<\/p>\n

I have always been a huge fan of Oliver + S’s adorable patterns. I love their fresh twist on classic styles, and knew that I wanted to use their patterns for my Garden Party Tango samples for market. I was over-the-moon pleased with just how well Oliver + S and Garden Party Tango danced together…the results, a perfect 10!<\/p>\n
