Mint
Julep
Quilt designed by Pine Tree Country Quilts
for Windham Fabrics
Dargate Lavender & Mint c. 1830 fabric
designed by Margo Krager
Love of fabric and history was the motivation behind the production
of Windham's Lavender & Mint c. 1830 collection. First
printed over 175 years ago, swatches of the original designs
were discovered in the treasured nineteenth-century Dargate
book, which contains over 2,100 vintage fabric
samples. The shades of mint green and lavender used in the
reproduction fabrics are authentic
period colors. Overlapping blocks between strips of trailing
vines and lilac sprigs give this quilt a traditional elegance.

The Beginning Fabrics
Shiki fabric designed by Kumiko Sudo

in shades of peach, green, and yellow‚—fresh and delicious as a bowl of rainbow sherbet? Each kimono
showcases one of the fabrics designed by fiber artist and painter
Kumiko Sudo. Kumiko's watercolor paintings of the four seasons,
inspired by flower gardens in her native Japan, led her to
create the gentle, fresh colors, graceful geometrics, and delicate
motifs in this fabric line. Little Kimonos combines artistic
