Vintage Novelty Fabric ~ In the Garden

Spring offically began last week (yea!), so for many of us that means gardening. I thought it would be fun to hunt through the stash and archives for some garden related vintage fabrics. Here's what I found... a variety of cute novelty prints with gardening related themes. Patio print from the 1950's. Children's fabric from the 1970-80's. Cute border print. And a couple in the "formal gardens" category; a striking black barkcloth. And a lovely scenic cotton fabric from the early 1900's. What about you, any garden themed fabrics in your sewing room?

    You have THE best fabric! My most Spring thing is my Ladies of the Garden Quilt. They hand in my sewing room so it's Spring all year 'round.

    Beautiful fabric, Kim. I adore that patio print-- it would look so cute as a tablecloth for a small patio table. Those bunnies are pretty cute, too!
