Floral Meadow

Floral Meadow in blue, Ever Kelly, Storybook Lane Collection, Andover Fabrics.  2012.

If you're into cutesy and have little kids, Ever Kelly's Storybook Lane collection sells panels where you can create plush houses, dolls, and playmats.  The meadow print is showcased in the playmat, but I love the richness of the blue and think it would be fabulous outside the collection as well.

Majestic Oak

Joel Dewberry, "Majestic Oak," Modern Meadow Collection, First Bloom colorway.  2011.

Melody Miller's famous Typewriters

Why the obsession with Japanese fabric?[gallery]

Sneak Peek: Femme Metale Chrome

"Femme Metale Chrome," by Pat Bravo, Rock n Romance Collection, Art Gallery Fabrics.  Rock n Romance will be released this September, and is by far my favorite Art Gallery release this year.  Gray has been the "it" color in modern quilting/sewing this year, but chocolate brown is my bet to take the reins by fall.
