Garden Divas

We've just received a shipment of the amazing range Garden Divas by Jane Sassaman.  Busy birds, bugs and dragonflies set the scene for a glorious day in a country garden. Garden Divas celebrates this colorful cast of characters and the magic dance between them. As always, Jane’s modern interpretation of a classic theme sews the seeds of possibility for contemporary quilts, wearables and home accessories.


All fabrics are $24/m, and incase you can't decide, we've put together a bundle of 6 fat quarters for the price of 5 at $30.00.


You can visit Jane Sassaman's blog to see all the beautiful things she has done with this range including this simple quilt made from topstitching quarter circles onto 12" blocks (yaay, no curved piecing), using the Willow Wands and other designs. 


...and the Gypsy Scarf quilt, using the Zinnia, and Iris and Bleeding Heart designs.  You can download a free pattern for this quilt here
The big, bold prints in these fabric would also look beautiful as pillow cases or bags


...and are fantastic for kaleidoscope quilts!  Here is an example from Jane's website of a kaleidoscope made with Iris and Bleeding Hearts.

i love the olive leaf print, it has a very mediterranean feel to it. ni contrast, that last kaleidoscopic image looks medieval and french - like stained gladd windows in la notre dame. wow! so much to choose from. so vibrant and rich.
