‘Delightful Patterns’ Textile Collection by Diane Quee
For our latest installment of The Designer Project, we’ll be featuring the wonderful work of artist Diane Quee!
Diane is a freelance graphic designer, who is passionate about designing logos and brand identity, drawing, painting and creating surface pattern designs. In her leisure time, she loves to create artworks using different media such as pencils, oil, watercolour and pastel.
Her goal with her ‘Delightful Patterns’ collection is to create simple, fun, vibrant and versatile patterns that convey positive feelings to viewers.
What’s more fantastic is that the whole collection has been made available in our Fabric Shop online, meaning each of the designs can be printed onto any of our stock fabrics. Below we’ve shared a bit about each of the designs and the types of projects we think they’d be great for so keep reading!
‘Northern Territory Eucalyptus Flowers’ features Eucalyptus flowers and was inspired by Dianes trip to the Northern Territory a few years ago. The olive green background of the pattern reflects the colour of nature and ties in with the bright colours of the Eucalyptus flowers.
‘Northern Territory Eucalyptus Flowers’ would be super cute as a statement garment! A fun dress or pants? Perhaps a luscious long skirt!
‘Summer Leaves’ was inspired by the plants growing in Dianes back garden. The colour palette of lime green and aqua blue, symbolise the blue sky, swimming pools, bright green leaves and the heat in summer.
We think ‘Summer Leaves’ is the perfect design for any women’s fashion garments such a sweet summer dress
‘Spring Leaves’ is another design inspired by Dianes garden. It features a vibrant green and subtle pink which symbolise the wonderful start of new life during the season of Spring.
‘Spring Leaves’ is utterly perfect for any and all Home and Interior projects! Think Cushion Covers and Tea Towels.
‘Starfish and Shells’ is a fresh and relaxing print, full of blue, green and yellowish green shades that you always associate with the beach, the sea and objects found in this environment.
We think ‘Starfish and Shells’ would be amazing as a summer kaftan or sarong, perhaps some outdoor cushions by the pool.
‘Starfish and Shells 3’ features a wonderful colour palette of blue and green with a touch of orange that compliments the other colours beautifully. You can also see little patterns inside each motif that adds an extra element of texture to this design.
‘Starfish and Shells 3’ is the perfect print for any beach project! Think beach towels, beach bags or swimmers!
‘Dinosaurs’ is a funky multicoloured Dinosaur print, featuring orange, blue, pink and green. You can also see some black patterns on the inside of each dinosaur motif which really helps to make each one pop!
‘Dinosaurs’ is such a great print for kidswear projects, whether it be pyjamas and shirts or even a little custom pencil case!
The possibilities are truly endless with Diane’s ‘Delightful Patterns’ collection. Our ideas above are suggestions only and we hope they’ve gotten your creative wheels turning! Each of Diane’s designs can be found in our Fabric Shop online.
