We are so excited to introduce you to our 2013-2014 Design Team! We are spending the first two weeks of October getting to know each designer and sharing a few of their DT submission projects. We just know you're going to love our new designers just as much as we do!
Hi, I'm Kathy Frye. I am a quilter at heart, but totally enjoy sewing, designing, and just anything fabric! I enjoy appliqué as well as traditional piecing, love to free motion quilt and make original projects. The fabric inspires me to create. My favorite color is green. I live in Wisconsin with my husband. We have 2 grown children and 6 grandchildren. I love it that my grandkids think I can sew anything!

My name is Brook and I live on a small pig farm in Southeast Kansas with my husband and 3 kiddos - 2 boys, 8 and 3 and our daughter, 15 months. I work part time at a local veterinary clinic and love it! I've been scrapbooking and taking lots of photos for over 15 years. I have a pretty clean, linear style and I just love the bright, graphic patterns that Bella Blvd. is so well known for. I am thrilled to get to work with such an amazing company again this year!

Hey there! I’m Jennifer and I’ve been incredibly lucky to be with the Bella family for quite some time now. I’ve been an ‘Altered Projects’ girl for the past 2 years and I am thrilled with my new ‘job’ as an On-Going Guest Designer, getting to share my layouts with you from time to time over the coming year. Very recently, our family made a big move to another town where we bought a fabulous 1960’s home that I get to renovate – I call it my ‘new/old’ home and can’t wait to watch the changes come together! This house has given me the studio space I’ve been waiting years to have and I am enjoying making it my own a little more each day. When the kids are at school, you'll usually find me playing with paper while watching ridiculous reality tv, 'pinning' & 'instagramming' or unpacking boxes instead of doing laundry. Then I get to spend all the rest of my time with 2 super cool kids, Emma& Alex, our 2 totally high maintenance dogs, a horse and a pretty incredible husband named Scott, on beautiful Vancouver Island in Canada!
