Boat Race is a fabric collection about the kind of summer childhood that feels almost impossible now — long afternoons outside with nowhere to be, making tiny boats from sticks and patchwork sails and racing them down the stream behind the house. Some floated beautifully. Many sank immediately. None of that mattered.
The prints in this collection are little snapshots of those days: camping trips and sleeping bags, sun-warmed rocks and cold lakes, bright green grass under bare feet, blue skies, yellow sunshine, and the particular magic of being small in summertime. I added ginghams throughout because I wanted the whole collection to feel like a picnic blanket spread out in the grass — cheerful, nostalgic, and made for gathering together.
Boat Race is an ode to handmade childhoods, muddy knees, imagination and the kind of summers you carry with you forever. ~ Heather Ross
