Robin Pickens Abby Rose Honey Bun 40 1 5 inch Strips Moda Fabrics 48670HB

Fabric roll of 40 1.5-inch by 44-inch (width of fabric) strips from the Abby Rose collection by designer Robin Pickens for Moda Fabrics. Her garden was full of happiness, color, sweetness and love. Have you stopped to smell the roses lately? Take a moment and enjoy the soft pink of their delicate petals and the lovely fragrance that brings sweetness to the air. Abby Rose was designed as a sister collection of Blushing Peonies. I wanted to capture the full pink blooms and deeply layered petals of these glorious blossoms. Cabbage roses seemed to fill that request for color and beauty. Big, full roses in pretty colors. They remind me of a cottage garden with brambling vines and plants filled with charm. To go with that cottage-feel, a cheery painted plaid is one of the coordinates, along with little rose buds yet to open and ditsy leaves. Sweeping simple lines on one of the prints remind me of the sweet fragrance wafting through the air in a gentle breeze. I wanted these cabbage roses to still have a pop of color and liveliness, so the soft pink and cream backgrounds are joined by the lively orange, vibrant green, serene seafoam and a deep prussian blue for vibrancy and drama. I love the play between pink and orange, orange and green, seafoam and dark blue, either to tell a two-tones color story or create a colorfully rich mix of all the springy shades, setting the stage for the big luscious cabbage roses. So stop, smell the roses, drink in the colors, and enjoy a cottage garden Abby Rose.
