Designer Spotlight - FreeSpirit presents Atrium by Joel Dewberry

 
Joel describes Atrium, his newest FreeSpirit fabric collection as "Light, bright, fresh and uplifting." He says, "Atrium is this season's personal sanctuary of bold motifs that are both organic and modern. Inspired by the meticulous details of private garden settings, this collection captures the beauty of flora, architecture and atmosphere with pop and style."

The collection mixes beautifully with his previous collections and has his signature eclectic modern aesthetic!
