"Alchemy Organic consists of a sweet collective of my favorite botanical inspired prints translated in brilliant hues that are irresistible on my beautiful 100% organic fashion and quilting cotton. This luxurious material makes the most delicious quilts and just keeps getting softer and softer with every wash. The incredible feel of the fabric & uplifting prints will have you dreaming up special projects for the ones you love!"

 

 

 

She picked some of the most breathtaking prints to release in Organic Cotton, the feel of this fabric is truly wonderful. If you want to take your creations to the next level, this collection will totally bring an element of lushness to anything you make!!

 

 

 

They would be absolutely fabulous as little nighties or sweet pajama sets! These super soft and luxurious prints are perfect for lounging around in bed or on the sofa! Wrap up in a yummy quilt made with coordinating prints and turn your home into an oasis of comfort!

 

 

 

 

Plenty of standout prints suitable for creating bohemian handbags or flowy skirts that will satisfy the freest of spirits' fashion craving! Make a simple tank top, throw it on over your favorite pair of Levi's, add cardigan and you've got a chic and simple outfit perfect for any occasion! Oh and you'll feel super comfy too!!  

 

 

 

Let the fabric do the talking in any of your quilting endeavours with Alchemy and use a simple and modern quilt pattern that really shows those prints off!! Try a strip quilt, large block patchwork, or even a duvet cover made with one print on the front and one on the back!
