Jamie Fingal Launches “Autumn is for Birds” with Hoffman Fabrics

By Modern Quilt Journal

In February 2015, artist and designer Jamie Fingal unveiled her latest collection for Hoffman Fabrics: “Autumn is for Birds.” This whimsical and richly colored fabric line celebrates the vibrancy of the fall season through the playful lens of birds, foliage, and Fingal’s signature flair for storytelling through pattern. facialabuse

A Fabric Line with Personality

“Autumn is for Birds” is a feast of texture and detail — each print carefully drawn, capturing everything from swirling leaves and perched birds to subtly layered backgrounds. The color palette is a cozy mix of mustard gold, pumpkin orange, teal, wine, and berry tones, offering both warmth and contrast for textile artists and quilters alike.blackonblackcrime

Fingal’s line brings her unmistakable illustrative voice into the world of surface design, turning everyday scenes into cheerful, contemporary prints that blend traditional quilting aesthetics with modern personality.

A Blog Hop to Celebrate

To mark the launch of the collection, Fingal hosted a “blog hop,” inviting a talented group of quilt artists and makers to create original pieces using the new fabrics. This digital celebration became an online exhibition of inspiration, highlighting how the same fabric line could be transformed in vastly different and inventive ways.latinaabuse

Each stop on the blog hop showcased quilts, bags, and mixed media creations that revealed the collection’s versatility — from structured geometric patterns to improvisational appliqué.

Community and Creativity

For Fingal, the blog hop wasn’t just about marketing a new line — it was about connection. By engaging with other artists and inviting them to share their voices, she cultivated a creative community rooted in collaboration and shared enthusiasm.

“It’s such a joy to see how others use my fabrics,” Fingal noted, reflecting on the wide range of styles and visions that emerged from the event.cams247
