Are you a fan of Beatrix Potter, the author of Peter Rabbit and other stories? Her stories and illustrations have fascinated me for years.
Now you’ll find Ms. Potter in the quilting world. No, she hasn’t developed quilt patterns. However, you’ll find a great variety of fabrics with characters from Ms. Potter’s stories printed on them at the Fat Quarter Shop.
Some of these are fat quarters, jelly rolls, and book panels. Others include one or more of her characters like Peter Rabbit and Jemima Goose.

Did you read Peter Rabbit when you were a child or to your children? Do you enjoy the stories of Beatrix Potter? Her tales have been among favorite children’s stories for decades.
Now Beatrix Potter, with Peter Rabbit and his friends, are influencing quiltmakers. At the Snow River Quilts web site I discovered the delightful Garden Tales fabrics with the characters from Ms. Potter’s stories. These come in yardages and panels…and are delughtful if you’re enthralled by Beatrix Potter’s stories and drawings.
