WOW!! Beautiful colors, patterns and quality!
These fabrics feel like silk!

spring meadow batiks A timber lined field full of wildflowers and tall swaying grass is the prefect retreat from the everyday trivials of a hectic life. Spring Meadows draws on this place of subtle tranquility for inspiration. Natural motifs and a delicate palette of prairie greens and clear blues evoke the serenity of a landscape left alone to do nature’s bidding.
