Garden Dreams is the first fabric line by Amber Elliot of Alderwood Studio. What she tell us about it?

“As a passionate gardener, my life revolves around the garden and the ever-changing seasons. Each year, as the late winter approaches, I find myself daydreaming about what my garden will look like in the coming year. While I wait for the spring weather to arrive I start my seeds and daydream about spring days warmed by the sun, leaves emerging from their long winter slumber, fluffy clouds passing by on a cool breeze, and the first wild roses.”

Start planning your upcoming quilting projects with this wonderful fabric collection as you join our monthly challenge!

Note: Garden Dreams fabric collection has been released on September 2024 ans is now available in shops!
