New Fabric In Store: Rouenneries Deux
February 9th, 2012
New French General Fabric is now in store at Berrima Patchwork.
The fabrics have been loaded onto our website . CLICK here to view
French General writes about this collection "After spending many summers in France looking for the perfect French red, I finally found a collection of old prints that represented what rural life looked like in the 18th and 19th centuries. Based on our first collection, Rouenneries, this group of lovely prints is inspired by the red florals that were printed in Rouen, France in the 18th century. Old French red, faded cranberry and natural linen colors all make up a collection that is a perfect combination to create a French-inspired quilt."
We have this fabric available on the bolt and in pre-cuts including jelly rolls, layer cakes and Charm packs
