I seem to have quite a number of these image obsessions lately, this one has been on my mind for a while now. The lovely and talented Anna Spiro of Absolutely Beautiful Things blog posted this image of an orange botanical fabric she was preparing to put in the window of her Brisbane based shop Black & Spiro. Could there be a more perfect fabric? I doubt it.

Look at that color palette. And what other fabric has printed hedgehogs and snails and foxgloves and dahlias and tiny frogs and still looks so sophisticated? None that I know of. Just google “hedgehog fabric” and see what I mean.

The only thing left to do is dust off the sewing machine and prepare for the ginormous bolster pillows I plan to sew with this gorgeousness. First I have to save my dollars and order a few metres. Oh and pray that Anna Spiro still has some metres left in stock….can we say Happy Mother’s Day to me?
