You can always tell when we're coming up on Quilt Market... because the new designs get posted on the manufacturers' websites! This one is designed by Linda Quigley of The Rabbit Factory, and it's supposed to be shipping to stores in September. As always, Clothworks does have a free pattern available, and this particular one would be very easy to adapt to work with whatever you have in your stash. http://clothworks.com/pdfs/patterns/...ardenquilt.pdf

Here come the pictures. Let me know what you think of this group!

Gorgeous fabrics but I especially love the first 2 with the bees.

You know, I have to agree. Though I sort of like them, they remind me a lot of the fabrics I first purchased in the early eighties. But Clothworks is not the only company doing this sort of return to ditsy calicoes.

In all fairness the country look is not my favorite, but the bee fabric is quite fun.

If I were a buyer, I would probably take a second look at the focus fabrics and skip most of this collection unless the shop sold quite a bit of the Thimbleberry style lines.
