The new fabric line features three different collections of prints inspired by the frontier lifestyle depicted in the stories written by Laura Ingalls Wilder–Walnut Grove named for the town in Minnesota where Wilder’s family settled in 1874, which incorporates prints from that era; Prairie Flowers, which uses bright and bold calicos; and Scenics and Icons, which includes iconic imagery on special, natural-finish fabric.
The fabrics will be available at independent quilt stores all over the U.S. in early November, and available in Europe beginning in February 2016.
