For the second time this year, Art Gallery Fabrics will be releasing new PURE solids colors. In mid-October, 12 new colors will be available in stores.
These new colors fill in gaps in the existing AGF PURE solids line-up and I think they are great additions. First up, we have three new neutrals: one dark gray and a dark blue grey, Lava Rock and Slate and two browns, Teak and Pampas. These neutrals will be a great backdrop to highlight your AGF prints or just to make a cozy two-tone quilt. Next, we have muted desert-inspired shades of sage green, Meditation, dusky green, Balsam Fir and rosy clay-colored, Sedona. Known for saturated solids, AGF is branching out into earthy and sophisticated colors like these. Don’t worry, saturated colors are still being added to the line-up like golden citrine of Pineapple, green as vibrant as its inspiration, Parrot, and tropical magenta, Hibiscus. Lastly, a pair of purples round out the last of the dozen new colors. Cosmos, a dark lavender, and Bougainvillea, a purple as gorgeous as its inspiration from a native South American vine.
Looking for some inspiration? Perhaps an excuse to dive into these beautiful new fabrics? Here are two of our favorite color palettes:
Inspired by my Grandmother’s lilac bushes, the trio of Meditation, Cosmos and Bougainvillea will bring a calming atmosphere to your sewing room and your home. These soft purples and light sage would be perfect for a more traditional quilt, perhaps an Irish chain or even a vintage basket block quilt.
This tropical rainforest palette of Hibiscus, Pineapple and Parrot, transports you to a Hawaiian island. Vibrant colored flora and persistent sounds of fauna surround a peaceful moment on the beach with a pina colada. It doesn’t take much imagination to daydream this relaxing moment. This trio could be used in a modern medallion quilt or combine it with beautiful florals.
Have you started to dream about using these new colors like I have? Before you take the plunge to purchase yardage based on the color on your computer, you can purchase the Woven and Woolly October 2022 Color Chips Expansion Pack to complete your AGF PURE Solids Color Chip collection. Preorders for this expansion pack are open now and will ship by November (based on mid-October release of yardage.)
Spread the word that AGF PURE Solids are about to have more colors. Make sure you and your friends have all the new color chips at your fingertips. I can’t wait to see what you make with them.
While we wait, which color are you most excited for?
Disclaimer: Given current supply chain issues, release times are estimated and subject to change. Woven and Woolly Color Chip Expansion Packs typically ship within 2 weeks of the arrival of yardage at retailers.
Hi, If I purchase the full art gallery color chip collection today (9/21/2022), will it include these new 12 colors being released in October?
Thanks, Kristine
Yes! If you purchase the whole set now, the expansion pack is included in the price. You’ll receive the current colors shipped to you right away, and you’ll receive the expansion pack sent separately when it becomes available.
