3 Sisters

3 Sisters is a collaboration born of mutual love and respect. This family of designers each dedicate their own voice to every collection. Vintage chic, country sophistication and an appreciation for the simple elegance of life are just a few of the stylistic threads that are woven into their designs. The widespread popularity of this dy­namic trio can be attributed to their keen eye for rich yet subtle color choices and a gentle finesse of both scale and pattern.

Alice Kennedy

Alice's love of pattern and color led her to pursue an art degree from The Rhode Island School of Design.  After graduation, she headed west to design scarves in Berkley, CA.  Later she landed back on the East Coast designing for Echo scarves. Lucky for us, 8 years ago she started designing for Timeless Treasures!

If you are in NY, you might run into her researching vintage textiles, buying hip antique jewelry at a flea market, photographing (or buying) veggies & flowers at the local Greenmarket or playing in the park with her photographer husband, Scott and her two young sons.

Amanda Murphy

She gives these elements a twist with her unique color palette and her mixture of textures and old and new motifs.

Amy Barickman

Amy Schimler

Amy Schimler has sold her designs to many companies including Target, American Greetings, Hallmark, and Baby Gap. You may have seen her artwork on greeting cards, gift wrap, baby strollers, or in books and magazines. She is thrilled to be collaborating with Robert Kaufman on a fabric line.

Amy has been drawing and playing with color ever since she can remember. She has worked in many media, including paints, fabric dyes, metals, and ceramics. She is a decorative artist drawing her inspiration from the colors, textures and patterns she finds all around her in her everyday life. Busy city streets, graffiti, museum visits from her childhood in New York; ocean hues and tropical flora from her teen years in Miami; laughing ducks, basking turtles, and blue herons from her lakeside cottage where she now resides, have all informed her work.

She hopes that her artwork reflects the passion she has for creating it and that her joy for the creative process might inspire other future artists and designers.

Anna Griffin

Growing up in a family of artists on both sides, Anna Griffin's inclination toward graphic design is no surprise.

After graduating with a degree in Environmental Design from North Carolina State University's School of Design in 1988, Griffin gained experience working with The John Harland Company and Vera Wang. Griffin launched her own business in 1994 by creating one-of-a-kind, handmade wedding and event invitations.

"My collections are a reflection of my passion for antiques and fine textiles," reveals Griffin. "The antique botanicals can be found on the walls of my home, while the collection of French fabrics are images reinterpreted from antique markets and my grandmother's curtains! What inspires me regarding design are luxurious and intricate patterns and florals."

Though Anna Griffin is no longer just for paper anymore, her design philosophy remains constant. Griffin has become a recognized authority when it comes to translating exquisite patterns evocative of old world style into modern, mix-and-match designs.

Anna Maria Horner

Anna Maria Horner grew up in a house full of her dad's paintings and with a closet full of her mom's handi-work. Beds were warmed by the hand-loomed wool blankets sent by her grandmother from Greece. The busy little bodies of her and her siblings were warmed by the beautiful handknits of their grandmother in Indiana. As a kid in the 70's, she passed up the $1.79 Barbie dresses in Service Merchandise, opting instead to create designs from her mother's fabric scraps....an artist was born.

In 1995, after graduating with an Honors Fine Arts Degree in Drawing from the University of Tennessee, Anna Maria opened Handmaiden, a clothing and housewares boutique. This retail space served as the homebase for Anna Maria's clothing line which she designed and produced, together with her mom. Eventually, the label was offered to the wholesale market, where it sold at several stores across the country.

During her years as a retailer/designer, Anna Maria had her hands in almost every medium on a daily basis. Designing clothing served an interest that she had since childhood. Her love of fabrics and patterns spilled onto her fine art canvases as well. Though busy with clothing design and production, Anna Maria found the energy to stay active artistically through exhibiting in galleries regularly. Her paintings, both small and large scale, are part of hundreds of private and commercial collections.

There have been many interesting stops on her artistic path but a common element in all of Anna Maria's work whether fashion, quilting or painting, is a passion for the language of color. As she continued to realize her point of view in many disciplines, they began to form a dialoque, one bettering the other, and leading to a constant stream of artistic growth. Somewhere around 2001, her fascination with taking an idea through all the necessary steps from her sketchbook to a store shelf sparked the momentum to create a brand. Anna Maria's fresh perspectives within traditional markets and her vision of being surrounded by the work of her own hands has led her to partnering with more than two dozen manufacturers to design homewares, gift items, textiles, authoring two sewing books, and publishing a continuing collection of sewing and needlework patterns

At the change of the millennium, Barb launched into a new avenue - licensing. From whimsical snowmen to elegant florals, her artwork can be seen on fabrics, dinnerware, greeting cards, kitchen textiles and giftware. She currently licenses her delightful watercolors to over 45 companies for a myriad of products.

Barbara Brackman

Barbara Brackman has been crazy about fabric since she was a child in the 1950s. She spent a good deal of her youth watching old movies on television while she embroidered dishtowels.

Barbara became interested in quilt patterns as an undergraduate at the University of Kansas in the 1960s. At the back of the classroom in which she studied art history, she discovered drawers full of quilt blocks. These blocks were the collection of Carrie Hall, who had published a patchwork index in the 1930s entitled The Romance of the Patchwork Quilt in America. Determined to make a quilt in every design, Barbara started a file of quilt blocks. She soon realized, as Carrie Hall had, that one person could not hope to stitch a block in every pattern, much less a quilt. An index card on each, however, was possible, and over 25 years, Barbara's file grew to include thousands of quilt patterns.

She has written many books about fabric and quilts, was a founding member of the American Quilt Study Group, and is an honoree of the Quilters' Hall of Fame.

Basic Grey

Deliciously different. Ambitiously diverse. Remarkably distinct. That’s BasicGrey.

Originality is the backbone of every fabric they design and every angle in which they approach a new project. Basic Grey strives to set the standard, not follow the trend. BasicGrey remains true to its popular avant-garde style in their fabric design and lives up to their philosophy - they live art—on the edge, in uncommon ways.

If neither of those is underway, she is probably tying a bow on something and/or someone.

Verna Mosquera

At first glance, you see a woman quietly sewing after a long day. But take a closer look, and you'll see purpose and a journey in every stitch. To know Verna Mosquera is to recognize that quilting is as much a part of her as her warm brown eyes. Verna was the little girl painting portraits of her stuffed animals and sewing treasures for her grade school girlfriends. At 16-years-old, she started college at California State University, Hayward. When other students were happily pursuing degrees in accounting or liberal arts, Verna was unsettled. She wanted to fuse business and imagination and finally did just that by convincing faculty to allow her to create a special major in "marketing the arts." As a young adult, Verna's exploration intensified. She studied Embroidery, Japanese Papermaking and Artist Books. Then, in artist Enrique Chagoya, she found not only a Printmaking instructor but a mentor whose encouragement bolstered her confidence and challenged her to pursue more adventurous artistic travels. In 2004, Verna's creativity, eye for color, attention to detail, background in marketing and entrepreneurial spirit created the perfect storm which compelled her to launch her own business, The Vintage Spool. In just three years, The Vintage Spool's designs have earned international acclaim, and the company currently distributes over 25 designs worldwide. Verna's talent recently captured the attention of Donna Wilder, previous owner of FreeSpirit (now owned by Westminster Fibers), who signed on Verna to design her own line of fabric which will debut this Fall. Verna's recent endeavors prove that even in finding "home," she is definitely not sitting still. Fashion Designer Paul Smith once said, "You can find inspiration in everything (and, if you can't, look again)." In that same spirit Verna Mosquera is sure to bestow upon the world many more inspiring creations.
