Queen Anne's Bouquet

Just wanted to share a quick peek of another one of my newest textile designs, Queen Anne's Bouquet, which I'm using on curtains in my bedroom at my dad's cottage in Antioch.  It's in an ivory linen & reminds me so much of our little field of wildflowers (including a ton of Queen Anne's Lace) growing right across the street from the house:  


{The kids picking wildflowers last summer}

I can't wait wake up to these in the mornings:

{It's actually a pretty large repeat but looks much smaller in this pic}

Here's a picture I took (color is off) of a print-out of my original drawing:


As soon as I have pics of the actual fabric/ curtains, I'll be sure to share!!
Have a great weekend & stay cool!!

 
xoxo, Lauren

    Stunning! Timeless! You hit the nail on the head with this one. Just last night as I was jogging beside all the Queen Anne's Lace in the ditch, I thought that you would be able to capture the intricate beauty in one of your fabrics like nobody else could. Thanks for the eye candy! I'll have to enjoy it from the screen, but have no fear that this will be in high demand!

    Wow, Lauren!!! You are a fabric designer extraordinaire!! LOVE it!!! It is SO HOT that it is really nice to be reminded that not everything about summer is bad. Love the romantic, vintage feel of this pattern. SO takes me back to a magical summer spent with my brothers on Cape Cod...........

    Lauren, I've loved your last two posts! I'm a fourth generation summer resident in Antioch. My great grandfather built our family's original house there almost a century ago. I can so relate to the Queen Anne's lace and other wildflowers that grow roadside up there. What a beautiful design!
