I often get asked about how long I think the current color analysis "trend" will last. But this mother brought her son & his fiancée for a Suzanne Caygill personalized color analysis, as part of a family tradition that has now spanned 4 generations and counting -- it all started with one woman meeting Suzanne Caygill and discovering the power of knowing your seasonal colors. During our session aunts and cousins and siblings texted their guesses, and it was amazing to be part of something so important for this whole family. So yes, the 'trendy' simplified color analysis folk are having a moment and who knows how long it might last, but for those of us carrying on Suzanne's legacy, this is not just a phase, this is a time honored tradition that keeps living on.

Should she have bought both? .boutique.waterloo

Fabric stores sort their fabrics by the type of material not by color, which makes hunting for replacement swatches for my SuzanneCaygill inspired color lab very challenging. What are your secrets for tracking down fabric for a very specific color match?

What a gorgeous colorway for some Autumn palettes

Mossbound feels like stepping off the path and letting the forest decide what happens next. It carries the quiet weight of old trees and damp earth, the moment where light thins and sound softens. This is a colourway that doesn’t shout for attention. It waits, patient and alive, the way the woods ...

Does my fabric swatch color lab have every single shade of every color and in every fabric? Sadly no, but I am always adding more—20,000 and counting and of course some colors run out and need to be replaced. Grateful for my partners in color who cut new fabrics into swatches for me.
