Pat Bravo brings her gorgeous design aesthetic to thread, with three collections; one for quilters and two for sewers. The colors match the sumptuous fabrics she designs. If you haven’t experienced Art Gallery Fabrics you owe it to yourself to check them out, and sew with the highest quality thread chosen just for them: Aurifil!
QNN caught up with Pat to share how her Aurifil collections match all of her fabric lines perfectly.
“For me, a sewing machine is everything… At the age of nine, I sat down
for the first time before my mom’s sewing machine. When I was 13, I
joined a sewing school in my native Buenos Aires, where I learned
everything about fabrics, dressmaking and patterns. For when it was
time for college, I decided to study law, but after 3 years I dropped out
and I began taking painting classes. Around that time, I met the one that
was going to be my husband, and has been the love of my life for 25
years, Walter Bravo. He is my friend, my confident, my everything…
and my partner in our company, Art Gallery Fabrics.“
“I am convinced that everybody is born “to do something” in life. It is
possible that, -in the path of life-, you will have some twists and turns at
some moments; but at the end, you will always find your purpose, your
destiny, your place. This is what I was born to do, and I am sure that this
is what I will do for the rest of my life. Moreover, I am blessed with the
privilege of working at something that excites me. But I feel happier for
being able to share my passion for sewing and fabrics with all of you,
because I think that the excitement that women have on creating their
own projects becomes a passion they translate to their family and
friends. This is a passion we all want to pass to our children as a legacy…
the passion for “handmade with fabrics”.

such gorgeous colours by Pat – thanks Aurifil 🙂
eye candy for sure. so pretty.
Wow. I seriously love all these color collections!
Thanks for the “wonderful” part! Truth is, I was only 9 years old when I threaded my first needle… and couldn’t stop since! I’ve always been into arts and crafts of many sorts (including home improvement, now that’s an art!), although I never went for a formal art education. Everything I know today is a result of experimenting and just overall pure passion for sewing, fabrics and design.
I thought the bom was on the first thursday of the month???
Love this! Another fabric store which is – https://broadwayfabrics.com/.
