Love in the Wild by Katy Tanis with FreeSpirit Fabrics

This one hits different. Love in the Wild isn’t just a fabric collection — it’s rooted in the children’s book of the same name by Katy Tanis, which celebrates the beautiful truth that love shows up in every form, across every species. From penguins raising chicks together to rainbow ringtails and cuddly lions, the story reminds us that queerness, diversity, and chosen families aren’t “exceptions” — they’re part of nature itself.

That message is why this collection matters so much to me and to our community. Every print is a little celebration of love: zebras on rainbow grasslands, elephants in lush jungles, giraffes forming heart shapes, butterflies dancing in bright skies. It’s joy. It’s representation. It’s visibility stitched right into the fabric.

✨ Why you’ll love it:

  • Bold, rainbow-soaked designs filled with animals, hearts, and movement
  • Perfect for quilts that tell a story, kids’ projects with meaning, or statement pieces that carry pride and power
  • A collection that pairs art with advocacy — fabric that actually says something

Love in the Wild is more than fabric — it’s a reminder that love, in all its forms, is natural, necessary, and worth celebrating every day.
