Ava and Oliphont invite you to join in all the fun of their backyard circus. This bright fresh collection is inspired by childhood days when party hats, soft toys and a little imagination were all it took to create your very own backyard circus extravaganza.
Designed to help you create beautiful quilts, toys and home decor, Backyard Circus will bring colour and fun into your textile creations.
Jodie Carleton is a school librarian turned toy maker and fabric designer. Blogging since 2007, Jodie is a social media enthusiast (internet procrastinator) who loves animals and drinking tea. Jodie has released over 50 toy and bag patterns under her Ric Rac label and loves creating and sharing her toys and their stories.
Jodie regularly teaches and takes great delight in turning unsuspecting people into crafters. ‘It is always great to see someone learn a new skill or make something that they are proud of. I have met and made so many friends while teaching, it’s an added bonus’.
Jodie is thrilled to be releasing her first range with Ella Blue and is having a hard time waiting to see what people will make with it.
