PRE ORDER Sturbridge Floral Petites Quilt Kit & Bundles!!

 

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new fabric collection, Sturbridge Floral Petites.

Last year I visited the archives of quilts and fabrics at The Old Sturbridge Village living history museum.  They have some of the most wonderful old, old fabrics in their archives.  I found this little bounty of small florals which I rarely ever see.  They had a bunch of them, and I fell in love.   

Each one of these small floral prints has their own special attributes, and well, I just had to create a fabric line with them.  I couldn't chose just one floral....I had to have six of them!  How can you choose?  

I designed 14 medium and dark prints to coordinate with the six florals.  They're light and playful prints that don't distract from the pretty florals at all.  

Flower Market quilt by Pam Buda

This is the quilt I designed, called Flower Market, and it features  of the Sturbridge Floral Petite prints.  Designing a quilt that has six different floral prints was a bit of a challenge for me.  I didn't want to create a chaotic quilt of all different florals, so I tucked a floral inside each block, and surrounded it with colorful half square triangles.  All of the half square triangles are made larger and trimmed to the perfect size, making block assembly much easier.  The quilt size is 74 x 88.

As you can see, Flower Market has a main floral print and I chose this print for the background.  It's light, whimsical, and has classic nineteenth century features.  Even though it is based on a very old print, it can be used in modern quilts.  It's light and airy and colorful!  Timeless.

Sturbridge Floral Petites are due to arrive late in August.  So, you can expect your order early in September.  Place your pre-order by August 14th.

I also want to introduce my new block of the month, called 

Piecemakers Sampler!!  Marcus Fabrics just released the quilt picture and fabric images to all of the shop owners last week.  So, that means you can begin looking for a participating quilt shop now.  Please ask your local quilt shop if they will be offering this program.  That way, they know you're interested.  

I'll be talking a lot more about this special quilt in the coming months.  The program begins February, 2024.  

We worked very hard on the luscious blue gray background fabric to get the color just right.  It is gorgeous and I'm so, so happy.  I hope you love it, too.  

We have a lot more beautiful fabric collections in the works, so stay tuned!

Keep your needle busy and your heart content.  Be well my friends~
