What's New at England Design?

 

Cynthia has just released two new patterns in her Small Landscapes Series. These patterns are available now for purchase through our online catalog. Both patterns feature a special bonus - downloadable files that can be printed to fabric to add details to the scene.

Season's End picture piecing pattern

Season's End, one of the two latest patterns in Cynthia's Small Landscapes Series features an icy stream running through a snowy forest. The quilt is 17" x 19".

   
Grist Mill picture piecing pattern Grist Mill, one of the two latest patterns in Cynthia's Small Landscapes Series was inspired by the Glade Creek Grist Mill in Babcock State Park in West Virginia. It seems only fitting that the mill be created in cloth since it was used in the 1800s for fulling wool cloth, dyeing, spinning, weaving and milling grain. The quilt is 15 1/2" x 17 1/2".

We've recently found some great landscape fabrics that have scenes too big to be sold as fat quarters - so we're offering them by the yard (or by the panel when appropriate). Visit our Fabric Yardage page to see some wonderful new landscape fabrics.
