BOTANY
From Windham Fabrics
A new collection from designer Kelly Ventura, Botany was inspired “by the beauty and wildness found in nature.” The collection’s gorgeous prints feature painterly large-scale blooms, petals, seedlings, other organic and botanical shapes, and even handwritten text. The versatile collection is well-suited for a variety of quilting and sewing projects, and the detailed patterns are ideal for adding embroidered elements.

In this new title, author/designer Marie-Claude Picon—from the South of France—shares ways to combine prints, colors, and textures to create quilts with a “perfectly aged” French-farmhouse style. The book’s ten projects range from Nine-Patch and Medallion quilts to designs featuring houses, stars, and primitive elements. The book also includes display ideas for adding a little “French flair” to the home.

ENGLISH PAPER PIECING: A STITCH IN TIME
From Tuva Publishing
Retail: $24.15
This new book by Sharon Burgess includes 18 projects, each incorporating English Paper Piecing and combining it with embroidery, laces, trims, and hand quilting—and all designed to inspire readers to “pick up a needle and thread.” The projects featured encourage sewists and crafters to cut into even their most treasured fabrics, or to repurpose things like vintage linens, to create beautiful projects as a gift or to keep for oneself.

HASBRO GAMING COLLECTION
From Camelot Fabrics
Those that grew up playing (and who still play!) classic board games from Hasbro will love this new licensed collection from Camelot. Designs are based on iconic images from several games—Monopoly, Scrabble, Twister, Operation, and Battleship. But the best part of the collection (in our humble opinion) are the panel prints, which feature modern—and humorous—designs and phrases referencing each game.
