Collection: Daybreak by Shell Rummell with FreeSpirit Fabrics

Welcome to Daybreak - a soothing, luminous collection where the hush of dawn meets textile magic. Designed by Shell Rummel for FreeSpirit Fabrics, this line captures that sweet moment when night’s deep blues begin to fade and the first gleams of morning light sweep in. 

Think: inky midnight skies softening into lavender-haze and dusky blue, then warming into seashell pinks and gentle corals. Shell describes it as “the inky night begins to fade. early morning light appears.”  The prints display her signature watercolor brush-feel, layered textures and subtle shifts - so even a solid yard holds depth and movement.  It’s a departure from her more typical coastal palette. Here we get fresh saturation, hope-filled energy and that quiet, still-in-transition moment. 

In short: Daybreak is the dawn hour captured in fabric - watercolor motion, layered texture, rich but peaceful colours. It invites you to create something that breathes, glows, and gently evolves. Let it be the soft light in your next quilt or sew-project.
