"Prairie Picnic"

Thorns and thistles. Coneflowers and sunflowers. They never looked so good! I named this Hang Up "Prairie Picnic." It takes me to another time and place. Let it transport you to a picnic on a pleasant midwestern summer's day -- blue skies, warm breezes, children's laughter, native flowers, and -- of course -- a bug or two! These beautiful fabrics are the dream child of Jane Sassaman for Free Spirit Fabrics. The designs were inspired by Jane's native Midwestern landscape. Every plant and insect on this fabric can be found in the rolling hills of Northern Illinois. Queen Anne’s Lace, sunflowers, Bachelor’s Buttons, teasel, moths and bugs all lend their honesty to these whimsical designs. I was enchanted with this fabric the first time I saw it, but I fell in love with it after I made this Hang Up. I hope you agree...


This Hang Up can be found in my Etsy shop later today...
