New Fabric in Store - Age of Elegance

Age of Elegance is the latest in new fabric collections to arrive at Berrima Patchwork. 

The full collection can be view HERE

Age of Elegance is a range of designs inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha. Born in Bohemia in 1860 his most influential work was created in Paris, where he lived for 20 years at the turn of the 19th century and an inspiring place to be at the fin-de-siècle. Today Alphonse Mucha is recognised for bridging the gap between high art and the commercial world. He was extremely versatile and produced posters, silverware and jewellery, as well as wallpapers and borders. Mucha’s designs incorporating the decorative Art Nouveau woman have become synonymous with this style, as he glamorized and feminized the female form. He often used Eastern forms and symbols and used a very sophisticated interpretation of colour and decoration based on natural forms, to create his very unique decorative Art Nouveau style.

  

This range is available in two different colourways.

Keep an eye out for next's week free 12" Block as it will have a Halloween feel to it

Free 12" Block Pattern: Patience Corners

This week's free pattern from Berrima Patchwork is called Patience Corners. In the single block it looks good, but when you create several of these blocks they can look fantastic. Just sew three of these blocks together, add a small border and it will create a fast table runner. The block is made up of squares and rectangles and is a great way to use up all those scraps. Why not use a selection of fabrics for the squares and 1 fabric for the sashing for an eye spy quilt, the options are limitless.

This is a traditional version of this block.

This is the block in some of the latest Kaffe Fassett and Phillip Jacobs Fabrics that have just arrived in the shop

New Fabric in Store - Touch of Spice

Touch of Spice is the latest new arrival into the shop by Fabric Freedom.

Each fabric in the range is embellished with metallic gold. The designs and colour ways in this group can all be used together, as the same colour theme runs through all sixteen skus, which can be used all together to create a wonderful vibrant quilt. The colour of hot paprika and chilli in lighter and darker tones, sits alongside ground ginger, cumin and peppery browns. The 5 designs go from pale cream, blue and peach, through mid tones of colour and shade, to rich dark hues. A variety of images, all shimmering with metallic gold, give this range a cool exotic feeling and add depth and variety to the range, which despite its contrasts of grasses, flowers, patterns and even birds, work beautifully together.

Touch of Spice is $22 per meter.
