Me too, I have a tote full of her fabrics, and could always buy more
, I have earrings, socks, a book of hers, also journals and papers and cards. Love her art. They will keep bringing out her stuff for years to come I would imagine. There was talk about bringing out some of her past fabrics new again. I also have a couple of yards of tapestry with the cats on it from her, I love it. It is fun to look at even if you don't use it and the panels are wonderful too.

Welcome to the group and your quilt is quite cute. A good way to show off her art work for sure.

Very pretty quilt. I have never bought much of her Christmas fabrics and I love it too, just never have. I also have a tote and mugs of hers added to the prior things I mentioned on the thread.

I ordered the "Home Tweet Home" for part of my Christmas. I didn't know she's passed away. I have friends that salavate over her designs and I have seen a few that I really like, but until recently, just didn't bite the bullet for her paterns. Most friends say they are really difficult to do and they don't understand them...guess I'll go in as usual and plunge head first! That's the way I do....nothing is out of my reach, unless I allow it to be!

My daughter and I fell in love with Laurel's cats, I think about 20 years ago. At that time she had designed jewelry which was selling around the shopping malls. Of course, she went on to other things but since then I still have the earrings I bought, a large matted and framed cat print of hers as well as a quilt I made a few years ago for my daughter. I'm not sure who is following her to produce new things but they are a credit to her memory and her talent.

I have earrings, a coffee mug, a little fabric, and several bags by Laurel Burch. I fell in love with her art when I got into having cats as pets. I love her cat items. So sorry she is no longer with us.

I LOVE Laurel Burch - the joy and vibrancy of her designs are an instant smile whenever I see one of them. I have many of her fabrics, when I heard she had died, I was afraid to cut any of them, but now that I know her designs will continue to be sold, I will not hoard the ones I have. I was beginning to feel like Gollum, stroking them and saying "My precioussssss!"
