When I saw the toile from the Chateau de Fleurs collection, I drooled! Red is a favorite color and how striking is this two-colored Mon Amour Table Runner?! The spotlight is on the toile which is where it should be! And, it’s accented with the most beautiful red fabric… just yummy!
The Chateau de Fleurs collection is an enchanting recreation of French sensitivity. Delicate toile, combined with soft florals in antique colors, takes me back to my studies of the Renaissance period. French Countryside is evocative of what I would consider French country design. You will find soft colors of nature with golds, reds as seen in flowers, and blues and greens like the fields and sky.
The Gathered Friends
quilt is a reminder of how important those we hold dear are to us.
Built with blocks that intertwine, they have an appearance of holding
one another together as dear friends. The block is a simple 9-Patch with
half-square-triangles (HST) in the corners. The block is then set on
point with additional HSTs which create a braided look. Truly an
exercise in color placement, you will enjoy watching each block unfold
and interlock as they are sewn together.
The Moonlit Blooms
collection is an enormous cluster of color amid a sea of black. The
combination has great impact! This fusion creates the most stunning
quilts whether for a bed, lap quilt or a table runner. Posy Spray is large enough to be a table topper, lap quilt or wall hanging at 54”.
The Baroque Floral fabric from the Moonlit Blooms collection is just gorgeous, simply gorgeous. Sunset Jewels Table Runner
does a good job of framing it in and providing the space needed to
deliver a beautiful quilt. I think its voice is loud and clear! The
colors are so saturated, and the black ground gives the blooms room to
speak.
