Hoopla Patterns: Museum Quilt Reproduction Patterns: An historic collection of authentic reproduction patterns.
19th Century Hoopla: Florrie's Favorites: A Florence Peto Fabric Collection
Endorsed by Shelburne Museum for Red Rooster Fabrics
Designed by Froncie Quinn
|
From the chintzes to double pinks, her textile collection spanned the 19th century, with the possibility that the chintz could have even been late 18th century. Best known for her “Calico Garden”, owned by the Shelburne Museum in Vermont, several of these designs would be charming for the “fussy cutting” and “broderie perse “ (appliqué) for which she was known. Florence Peto LOVED fabric and LOVED using every little piece. Her lovely quilts are filled with "fussy cutting" of many of her fabric scraps. As a result, we do not know exactly how the entire piece of fabric looked. Therefore, for the Sprigs, we have taken the flower from her quilts and designed a lovely background for them. Red Rooster Fabrics has added the Dots* as a filler piece to round out the line. Although typical of many of the little fabrics Florrie included in her quilts, it is not directly from them.
