Description
Step into the wonderfully nostalgic world of Beatrix Potter with Tales of the Burrow, a beautiful new Peter Rabbit cotton collection filled with some of her most-loved characters.
The collection brings together Peter Rabbit and his friends amongst cottage gardens, woodland leaves, vegetables, berries and tiny florals, all illustrated in the beautifully delicate watercolour style so instantly associated with Beatrix Potter.
Across the collection you’ll find Peter getting up to his usual mischief alongside Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddle-Duck, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and other familiar friends, with each print having its own lovely character.
The soft palette of pale blue, pale pink, gentle sage, cream and natural woodland tones gives the collection a wonderfully nostalgic feel, with all the charm of Beatrix Potter’s original illustrations.
And it certainly doesn’t have to be kept just for quilting! This is a lovely soft cotton and would make the most delightful children’s and baby clothes – think little dresses, rompers, dungarees, shirts, bloomers, pyjamas and sun hats.
It would also make an absolutely beautiful Peter Rabbit nursery collection. Imagine matching cot or crib accessories, changing mats, nappy bags, nursery organisers, storage baskets, toy bags, cushions, bunting, curtains, lampshades and little fabric baskets – particularly lovely if you mixed and matched several of the coordinating prints.
Of course, it’s equally at home in patchwork and quilting, as well as bags, accessories, gifts and all sorts of lovely sewing and craft projects.
The five prints available are:
Characters – a charming scattered print bringing together a host of familiar Beatrix Potter characters on a soft cream background.
Peter’s Patch – Peter Rabbit amongst watering cans, garden flowers, lettuces and little woodland details on a beautiful pale blue.
Jemima’s Meadow – a delicate pale pink print featuring Jemima Puddle-Duck amongst flowers, berries and leafy sprigs.
Forest Foraging – Peter Rabbit exploring amongst trees, woodland foliage, mushrooms and garden gates on a warm soft cream background.
Mischievous Mice – a lovely soft sage print filled with playful mice, rabbits, woodland leaves, mushrooms and tiny scattered flowers.
Perfect for using individually or mixing across the collection, the colours and illustrations coordinate beautifully together.
