{ For the Love of Colour and Pattern }

Tamara is a licensed fabric & product designer, quilter and illustrator based in Montreal. While she has been drawing and painting since her childhood, the work she is best known for today didn't start until a number of years after she graduated with a BFA in Textiles from NSCAD.

Having spent her youth in the Caribbean plays a large part in Tamara’s design aesthetic. She is greatly inspired by nature, color and pattern and plays on a combination of her weekend wanderings, her children’s current fascinations and her own memories to tell stories through design. She creates work that is fresh, joyous and youthful with a touch of whimsy.

Tamara's online shop is a place where sewists can find a wide range of:

• recent as well as hard to find/out of print Tamara Kate fabrics
• sewing & quilting patterns
• some fun items she has recently had the pleasure of designing for a variety of companies.

Tamara enjoys teaching both sewing and design projects, large and small, through both online sources and in-person workshops.
