36 pieces of 24.5cm squares in an assortment of the 25 fabrics from the Five + Ten collection.
This collection was inspired by an eclectic variety store in America's Cape Cod, where Denyse spent summers during her childhood. The store was crammed full of anything and everything that you could possibly need while on holiday. The fabrics in this collection channel the colours and patterns that Denyse remembers from the beach towels, sand buckets and water toys, playing cards, board games, jigsaw puzzles, postcards, souvenirs, and wrapped lollies.
Denyse Schmidt is one of our favourite fabric designers. Her designs are simple, timeless and ambiguous, which allows them to traverse diverse styles and eras without looking like an imposter. The colours are generally muddy and unusual, which gives an authentic retro mood. The base cloths are beautiful quality and a cream colour, rather than white, so it feels like a precious piece from your nana's stash before you've even started sewing.
Denyse's designs are terrific for completing and repairing vintage quilts and equally fabulous as the confident star of retro-inspired clothing.
