Modern Robe in Blueberry Park fabrics

We love the look of the Modern Robe in fabrics from the Blueberry Park Collection by Karen Lewis for Robert Kaufman Fabrics.  This robe was stitched upon request of Stone Mountain and Daughter Fabrics in Berkeley, California, where it is displayed as a store model.


Here are the Indigo and Coral fabrics from the Blueberry Park collection :

AWI-15751-143  CORAL by Karen Lewis - Blueberry Park

Karen was born and brought up in Leeds, West Yorkshire in the UK where she learned to sew and knit with her grandmother. Karen always had a passion for textiles, pattern and color and after a brief silkscreen printing course in 2011, she set about teaching herself more about this technique in order to design her own fabric.  Blueberry Park is her first collection for Robert Kaufman.

Karen is also the author of the acclaimed book, Screen Printing at Home: Print Your Own Fabric to Make Simple Sewn Projects  (2014).

Karen Lewis is also a prolific quilter and her work is regularly seen in Love Patchwork and Quilting as well as Quilt Now magazines. As well as running workshops in her home in Leeds, she has taught at the Fat Quarterly Retreat and around the UK.  You can read a fascinating interview with Karen Lewis at Wicked Printing Stuff.


Stonemountain & Daughter is one of the last great full-service fabric stores in the country. There are less than 50 such stores in the country – there used to be at least one in every city and town! We're honored to have the Modern Robe pattern featured at Stonemountain & Daughter.
