Meet Stillwater: A Serene New Collection Now in the Shop
There’s something magical about fabric that instantly transports you somewhere peaceful. Stillwater by Katie O’Shea does exactly that — and I’m so excited to share that this beautiful collection is now available in the shop.
Inspired by a quiet pond on the Colorado–Utah border, Stillwater captures the soothing rhythm of water, the rustle of marsh grasses, and the gentle presence of wildlife from sunrise to starlight. It’s the kind of collection that feels like a deep breath.
A Palette That Balances Vibrancy & Calm
Stillwater brings together an unforgettable color story:
-
Vibrant aqua, salmon, and turquoise
-
Serene teals and soft watery blues
-
Rich olive greens
-
Warm golden accents
The combination feels both fresh and grounded — lively enough to make a statement quilt, yet calming enough for everyday projects you’ll treasure for years.
Nature, Reimagined in Modern Art Deco Style
What truly sets this collection apart is the artwork.
You’ll find:
-
Marshy landscapes that feel layered and atmospheric
-
Elegant waterfowl — including graceful herons — standing tall among reeds
-
Florals and natural elements interpreted through a modern Art Deco lens
The structured, almost architectural styling of the motifs pairs beautifully with the organic subject matter. It’s nature — but refined, stylized, and thoughtfully composed.
Perfect For…
Stillwater would shine in:
-
Statement quilt backs
-
Large-scale quilt blocks that let the herons take center stage
-
Sophisticated throw pillows
-
Modern home décor projects
-
Apparel pieces that need a bold yet elegant print
I especially love the idea of pairing the richer olives and teals with coordinating solids to let the Art Deco shapes really stand out.
A Collection That Feels Like a Retreat
Some fabric collections energize you. Others comfort you.
Stillwater somehow does both.
It carries the stillness of a quiet pond, the subtle movement of water, and the beauty of wildlife — all wrapped into a cohesive palette that feels intentional and inspiring.
If you’ve been craving a collection that blends modern style with natural serenity, this one is truly special.
I can’t wait for you to see it, feel it, and start imagining what you’ll create.
