Farmgate

Farmgate is our 5th collection for Andover Fabrics and features traditional designs printed onto the beautiful base cloth of Andover’s Century Solids collection.

It’s made from 100 % premium combed fine cotton yarns. They have the same shrinkage rate as all our other quality Andover fabrics with the beautiful drape you expect.

The feel of these fabrics are extraordinary and have a white pigment ink print on them. And because the impurities have been combed out in production, you get this amazing saturation of colour. Farmgate features 5 prints on 20 rich Century Solid colours. We have recreated our Tessellate pattern and released a new pattern, Blazing Star, coloured in Farmgate to show you a stunning use of the fabrics. They work beautifully on their own as well as mixing in with other quality Andover fabrics.

The collection’s colours will work perfectly in all genres of designs including traditional, 1930’s, modern and more. Farmgate is due in stores in June and is available for order now.

We were so excited to see our Quilt "Allambee" on the cover of Quilters Companion this month. This is Lisa's colourway.  It has photographed beautifully.

This is Lou's version. I took a photo of the magazine, please forgive the quality!

And this is the two together

This fantastic graphic is from Lilly Patches.  Thanks heaps.

So head down to your local quilt shop or newsagent for your copy! Full pattern is in the magazine.

Happy Stitching 

(& Happy mothers day for all the Aussie mum's for Sunday).
