AGF caught up with Angela Walters to get her perspective on the collection,<br />
her quilting habits, and a couple of other fun tidbits.<br />
Keep reading for the Q and A!<br />
AGF: How was designing Legacy different from your first collection?<br />
Angela: It was so different than designing the first one! My first collection, Textures, was just like dipping<br />
my toes into the fabric design world. It was a mini-collection with only 3 different prints. However, Legacy,<br />
was like diving in head first! It’s my first full collection, which means I got to design 10 prints in two different<br />
color-ways. I absolutely loved getting to expand on my vision.<br />
AGF: Is there anything you learned from your first collection that you were able to apply to Legacy?<br />
Angela: When I designed Legacy, I felt that I was finally getting the hang of Illustrator. My practice with it<br />
while designing my first collection definitely came in handy!<br />
AGF: What do you enjoy most about being a fabric designer?<br />
Angela: I love that it’s a different side of the industry that I normally work on (as a pattern designer and<br />
machine quilter). It’s a whole different artistic outlet and I love it! Of course, seeing my name on the selvage<br />
is pretty cool too!<br />
AGF: Do you have a favorite print from the collection?<br />
Angela: My favorite print would be the Grand Mosaic. It was the very first print I designed, when I decided<br />
to try to be a fabric designer. Seeing it in production makes me so very happy!<br />
AGF: When it comes down to your quilting, do you have a time of day when you prefer to work?<br />
Angela: I find that for machine quilting, I am most productive when quiting in the middle of the night<br />
when everyone is asleep. Especially when I have some great music blaring on my ipod! When it comes to<br />
fabric design, I do most of my designs while sitting on the couch next to my hubby.<br />
AGF: We know you travel quite a bit for your quilting classes and promoting your work. Care to share<br />
which cities you enjoy frequenting?<br />
Angela: I am a total foodie, so going to cities known for great food always make me happy. My favorite<br />
cities (based solely on food) are Portland, OR and Boston MA. The quilters that I interact with are great<br />
everywhere I go!<br />
AGF: Are there other skills or hobbies you wish you had more time for?<br />
Angela: There are two things that I wish I had time to learn. I wish I could speak a different language fluently<br />
and play a musical instrument. But, I wouldn’t trade what I am doing for anything else in the world!<br />
