good morning! Happy May!
we are very excited to introduce our newest arrival. designed by Petra Prins of Petra Prins Patchwork and Quilting of the Netherlands…this collection from Devonstone (Australia) is a wonderful grouping of nearly 60 vintage-y prints. lots and LOTS of gorgeous florals are perfect for classic patchwork, appliqué, Broiderie Perse appliqué , and English paper piecing.
we did a full fat 8th bundle of all the prints (i nabbed one of these for myself-of course!) and we broke the rest up into curated sets for fat quarters and half yard bundles.
