Paisley....an old fashioned motif that never looses it’s appeal.
We’ve all had paisley as part of our life somewhere - granddad's ties, grandma’s french tablecloth, dad’s flannel dressing gown....the list goes on. It is nurturing in it’s familiarity.

As a designer Paisley is a theme that is open to tweaking.
Moving away from the conservative I have fiddled with the colours as my starting point. Here we have beautifully clear strong primaries - red, yellow and blue then black for added drama and a push towards a fresher palette with the inclusion of fuschia and lime. Provence meets Australia if I had to put it in a nutshell.

The designs themselves are simple with use of three reoccurring motifs - paisley dropletz, daisyz and swirliez. They have simply been scaled up or down, placed close or sparse and coloured to interchange well. With six prints and six colorways there should be plenty to play with.

How to use these?
Just the word Paisley makes them a classic so they will work beautifully in traditional blocks. My crooked take on the traditional is highly recommended - Cut Loose easy cut blocks would be excellent here. Make someone you love a sunny bed or couch cuddle quilt.

Me? I’ll be using my Hatz, Handbagz and Shoez patterns dressed up in classic finery....then I’d like to make some Napkinz for summer entertaining....then tablecloth backgrounds for my Cuppaz pattern then..........

I know I’ll enjoy stitching with these for a long time to come, here’s hoping you do too,
