Sweet Holly by Kansas Troubles for Moda Fabrics
"Who knew a broken box would be the perfect inspiration for a collection of fabric. Let me explain... I was moving boxes of papers, vintage fabric swatches, and miscellaneous stuff out of my office when the bottom fell out of a box and the contents spilled out. As I was picking up and sorting through the mess, I discovered a set of holiday stencils. They were dated 1929 and were bought in a box of "good junk" at an auction. One of the stencils was a delightful candy cane cutout with holly leaves, berries, and a bow. It was the perfect beginning for a Christmas collection. I added designs that reminded me of vintage wrapping paper to complete the look.
I hop you enjoy this cheerful collection as much as I have to create your own Sweet Holly Christmas."
