VIBRANT MOUNTAINS • This quilt is constructed with nine patch Rolling Stone blocks – simple and quick to piece – and sashing strips. Restricting the colour palette to pink and blue gives the quilt a vibrant look.

Little Wrens MOBILE • Delicately embroidered felt wrens suspended from a leaf canopy add a touch of whimsy to a baby’s or infant’s bedroom.

Fabric DESIGNER PROFILE

Quilted PLAYMAT • Baby will enjoy tummy time on this dramatically coloured octagon-shaped floor quilt.

A fluffle of bunnies • A group of rabbits is most commonly called a colony, however they can also be called a fluffle, and there are even more collective nouns. We prefer fluffle as it suits the gorgeous nature of the cushion and pincushion.

TEA AND TREATS TABLE RUNNER • If you are a relative beginner, or a talented quilter looking for a quick and easy project, you will love this table runner.

Autumn fabric fling! • The following pages share just a few ranges that will land in a store near you during March, April and May 2022.
