Magical Lands
So without further delay I'd like to share with you
Magical Lands by Saffron Craig.
Tree Pods is a big scale print. Two rows of these run down the length of the fabric, perfect for borders! I would love a skirt made out of this!!
Magic Trees is such an electric combo of purple and green
Snowy Woods is so pretty. Saffron has made a beautiful skirt using Snowy Woods. You can see a photo on her blog.
Magical Lands. Little rounded hills of beautiful colours.
Ginko Blossoms in green and Magic Spots.
The fact that they're designed by an Australian adds a special touch. I'm really inspired by these different colours. The designs are simple and sweet, yet funky and modern. Look closely and you'll see the trees are all topped with a little heart.
Sometimes I get new fabric and I'll be too nervous to cut it or will wait till I find the perfect pattern or I'm content just to know it's there for a rainy day. As soon as I'd ripped open this parcel I had it hanging on the design wall. My thinking cap was on and by the next morning I knew what I wanted to do.

It may look a bit wild and half done but this is the plan... Magic Wheels!

I don't know how you come up with such brilliant ideas for the fabrics. I love it a lot and how great to see original fabris like Saffron's. I think she lives around my area because I see her fabrics in a local shop and that's what they said.
ReplyDeleteOh this is going to be amazing and bold and a bit wild which I think is kind of your signature style. These fabrics are beautiful - I love the bold primitif kind of look they have.
ReplyDeleteWow Rachael! You amaze me with your wonderful quilt designs and what gorgeous fabric!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is an inspiring display. I like the direction this is going. It makes me even more eager to work with mine!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is amazing! I admire your 'guts' in cutting into that beautiful fabric and creating something even more beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning. Another amazing quilt coming together. l just love it when you know what direction to take your quilt by simply opening a parcel of new fabric.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic - so graphic. And that's with working 12 days straight too!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!
