Green is my good friend. Green is soft and strong. Green is Earth Day and green is Christmas. Green is tropical tree tops and mossy forest floors. There are Little Green Men and The Green Lantern. Then there’s Green-eyed lady by Sugarloaf which is a little distracting but its a cool tune…
Well, at any rate, green is the pretty Tavern Green Collection from Paula Barnes.
There are some real stunners in this line. I took this photo so you could get a better view of the pieces. Paula has a great talent with fabric. Going thru this its struck me how classic a few of these pieces really are. They’d work nicely with other lines. Also, I thought the quality of the fabric was nice. Lately I’ve noticed some of the Marcus Fabrics are less than what a girl likes. These are pretty good. Quality ladies, quality.
Here are a couple pieces that grabbed my attention…
This one (above) has a real brightness to it that the computer just doesn’t do justice to. It’s almost a chrome yellow IMHO. You’ve got to see it to appreciate it.
…and because you’ve gotta see this one opened up, right?
Here’s the entire collection for you to see. It just feels like it wants to be happy in a Carpenters Wheel block or two and definitely a little gift at Christmas. First though, I’m going to take a much needed break. My blogging has been bland and I’ve got nothing to give. I need to walk away from quilting for a little bit and just open myself up to something different. I’m truly fried. I can keep on keeping on like I have but there’s no fire in my veins. So excuse me while I step back for a brief bit and see you soon. Be Repro!! *karendianne.
