LUCY AND OLLIE BY
VALORI WELLS
For Robert Kaufman Fabrics

The kitties make appearances on both the printed panel and a portrait design, alongside elements from the garden. The colorful collection also includes abstract designs in Grass, Water, Sunshine, Silver, Raspberry, Gold, and Kumquat. Available in stores October 2017.
