Illustrations and Seamless Patterns

Alabama
The Sanctuary Stories collection is a cohesive surface pattern and character design series centered on gentle birds, comforting motifs, and welcoming spaces. The artwork features hand-illustrated bird characters, birdhouses, flowing line work, symbolic hearts, scripture-inspired patterns, and soft, nature-rooted color palettes designed to feel calm, safe, and timeless.
The collection includes coordinating repeat patterns alongside cut-and-sew bird panels, allowing the characters to exist both on fabric and in three-dimensional form. From playful bird prints and illustrative line-art patterns to character-focused panels like Wren and Sela, the designs are intentionally versatile - well suited for fabric, home décor, children’s products, quilting, and handmade keepsakes.
Together, the patterns balance whimsy and meaning, combining clean illustration, thoughtful detail, and emotional warmth.
Bringing the Stories to Life Through Fabric
Designed to pair seamlessly with the Sanctuary Stories book series, this fabric collection allows the characters to move beyond the page and into a child’s hands. The coordinating prints and cut-and-sew birds offer opportunities for hands-on comfort, imaginative play, creative expression, and connection, helping the stories feel tangible and personal.
Whether sewn into a soft companion, quilt, or cherished handmade item, the Sanctuary Stories fabrics extend the heart of the books - creating a physical reminder of safety, hope, and belonging.
