Palmer Fabric Collections

Two new fabric collections to share with you!

P&B Textiles has brought more of my watercolor paintings to fabric~

'Fresh Picked Farm Stand'

I have taken photographs of farm stands for over 20 years~

Along the roadside, while we're out for a country drive.

Most of the stands are 20 minutes or less from our home.

We LOVE to support our farmers & gardeners!

Winter Snowmen Wreaths!

So much fun!!

Snowmen with their cardinal friends... framed by different wreaths~

I began painting some of my favorite stands several years ago.

A few extra props & signs tucked in here or there...

I will often change the crop to fill my 'garden' of subjects.

We do not have a long growing season here~

It is an amazing variety... sweet and full of flavor!

We are surrounded by apple, peach, plum, cherry orchards...

I LOVE honey...

Grateful for Beekeepers! 

No matter how few or how many hives they keep~

Protecting our bee population is crucial.

Grateful for open fields of wild flowers, hedgerows, windbreaks & field edges.

I search for heirloom & pollinator-friendly plants to add to our garden.

Farm stand location/direction signs at cross roads are often made from

recycled wood. I thought it would be fun to add some

farmyard friends!

I will be releasing some of these designs as punch needle 

and rug hooking patterns soon!

The border...

I can't wait to play with some of these fabrics!

(If I could sneak a few more hours into each day...)

Bustling meadow...

They must have wonderful visits!

Some of the coordinates for Winter Snowmen Wreaths

Perfect size and detail to cut out...

Ideal for ornaments, set inside quilt blocks... patch a Christmas stocking!

Margaret Luewen~ Miss Marker's Quilts

Margaret drives past some of the same road side stands...

She designed a quilt for Fresh Picked Farm Stand~

and...

...a quilt for Winter Snowmen Wreaths, too!

We are enjoying dryer, sunnier days...

The vegetable garden is delighted!

The flowers are blooming & bees are humming~

Hope you have a wonderful week, Friends!

Thank you for stopping by~
