{ Wanderer Palette } Hello Pilgrim is Lizzy House‘s newest.

Well, there’s butterflies, but butterflies are about as floral as you can get in a novelty motif. These [...]
… spotted at Quilt Taffy on Etsy. And while looking around for a Japanese fabric to feature today, I came across this text print, from the Maxine licensed collection by Hallmark for Robert Kaufman fabrics.

I was looking over the latest fabric offerings at John Lewis, which I gather is a slightly more upscale Target in the U.K. (If Target sold fabric, that could be dangerous.) a department store on par with Macy’s or Nordstrom in the U.S., only with fabric (dreamy!). Spheres, from John Lewis’ exclusive in-house collection, is [...]
