Spring 2004
Sometimes, fabrics just speak to you. Old World Charm was inspired by a line of fabric by Fabri-Quilt, Renoir’s Village. Using six fabrics from the Renoir’s Village line, plus a sky fabric, my task was to create a quilt of the impressionistic era without the sharp edges of a realistic landscape quilt. I challenged myself to stitch differently and included overlays of tulle to create the blurry feeling in the distance. I was so happy with the resulting quilt, that I ordered the entire line for a “kit” Old World Charm workshop!
