She was wonderfully talented and creative, achieving a great amount of success despite health problems. I have a lot of her fabric and hate to cut it!

I love her style so much. I had no idea she had books also. Where have you found those books?

I love the rich colors she's used in her fabrics. I made a tree skirt from a print this year. The print is the triangle w/ a French braid for the rest. Each braid is a color from the print. Its gorgeous!

Yes, I love her fabric, too. I have some and a large tote bag I found in the airport in Albuquerque, NM last year. When I saw it, I just had to have it! Glad that the family is continuing her wonderful designs.

I bet that jacket is really beautiful! You will have to post a photo, please?

A large assortment of Laurel Burch jewelry, scarves, bags and socks are available from The Spotted Cat Company, and they even have sales, unusual for LB items. I've bought some of each of those categories over time, and always on sale, usually 40-50% off. I'm into cats myself, but in spite of the site's name they also carry her other designs. Other designers too, but no fabric or quilt books. They also offer 15% off your first order, even for the on-sale items. www.thespottedcatcompany.com.

I'd never heard of Laurel Burch before I read this thread. I really love the bright, vibrant colors so.......you know the rest of the story. I have several yards coming. Also got to checking out other things in her line and since hubby and myself are going on a business trip next month decided I needed (Ok....wanted a new travel tote.). Not only did I buy the large tote but also got the smaller bag to put my Redwork in and maybe some quilt pieces to put together by hand while in the car and in the hotel.

I have borrowed many quilting books from the library prior to purchase... I love the Laurel Burch look and feel, so I bought them outright... .
