Introducing "Meadow Friends!"

"Meadow Friends" Boys' Coordinates
Hello Friends,

Just wanted to give you a "sneak peak" at my newest fabric line that will be in stores this July!!! I love it!
"Meadow Friends" is a fun childrens group with coordinates for boys and coordinates for girls.  It is filled with bright colors and whimsical characters you might encounter in a meadow or along a stream.

"Meadow Friends" Girls' Coordinates


When my children were young, they spent many summer days playing in the creek, near our home.  My daughters were amazed by the flowers, butterflies, ladybugs and hummingbirds that they saw.  My son, however, leaned towards (and sometimes brought home..) frogs, turtles, salamanders and bugs.

"Meadow Friends" brings all of these "critters" to life in bright, cheerful, colors.  I've used bugs, birds and other creatures from nature, that children are drawn to, in the patterns of this group.  Many of the designs are available in flannel too!



Be sure to look for "Meadow Friends" in your favorite Quilt Shop this summer!

Of course....I needed two models to "show-off" the new group.  So I grabbed my little grandsons and tried to wrap them up in the fabric.   Graham, didn't want anything to do with Grandma's little fashion show....

Finnigan, took to the whole idea and flashed one of his sweet smiles!  (Graham has a wonderful smile too!)


I would love to see any pictures that you have of your cherished little ones in anything with my fabric!
What fun!  Will share them here, if that is OK. 

Hope that you like "Meadow Friends".  I certainly had fun working on it.  When the originals return, I'll share them here.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Always,
Deb

  2. I just bought a gently love antique quilt that I want to duplicate. Meadow Friends girl would be the perfect fabric. You can see a picture of the quilt on my blog. Hugs

  6. Such soothing, happy colors in both collections! My two younger kids, a boy and a girl, would love to decorate their own rooms in such fun fabrics. Maybe I'll wrap them in my postage stamp quilt I just finished using Sent With Love and send you a picture...if they will cooperate!

  13. I love all of your fabric Deb <3 I even created a flickr group because I love your fabric so much! The very first quilt I ever made was with Fresh. The tulips reminded me of my grandfather. He loved to work in his garden.

    Thanks for creating beautiful fabric! You can visit the flickr here http://www.flickr.com/groups/debstrainfabric/ there's lots of beautiful creations using your fabric

    I also bought some of your stationary at a local country primitive store... but your fabric I have to import from the USA. It's worth every dime!
