Hand Picked First Light - Lilacs - by Nicholas Lapp - Maywood Studio - Quilting Cotton Fabric

Nicholas Lapp's fresh flower collages are the inspiration behind his debut collection, Hand Picked: First Light, for Maywood Studio. The flowers in his designs were gleaned from his own garden, specialty nurseries, and seasonal farmer's markets in the Pacific Northwest, capturing each bloom as a photorealistic, elegant moment of natural beauty.

This stunning floral collection features tossed digital prints of daisies, lilacs, mums and violets, brought to life in soft shades of pink, lavender and blue for a touch of delicate, everyday elegance. Textured tonal solids pair perfectly with the colourful florals throughout the range, providing beautiful contrast and highlighting the uniqueness of each individual bloom.

Crafted from 100% premium quality cotton, Hand Picked: First Light offers a lovely soft handle and reliable, easy-to-sew performance, whether you're an experienced quilter or just starting out. The fabric holds its shape beautifully and presses crisply, making it a pleasure to work with for patchwork, quilting, appliqué, and dressmaking-style craft projects alike.

This versatile collection is perfect for a whole host of makes, including:

• Patchwork quilts and cushion covers
• Tote bags, pouches and craft accessories
• Dressmaking and garment projects
• Spring and summer-themed home décor
• Memory quilts and keepsake gifts
• Delicate, elegant accessories and gifts

Whether you're creating a soft, photorealistic floral quilt, a delicate dressmaking project, or simply adding a touch of garden-fresh elegance to your fabric stash, Hand Picked: First Light is a beautiful way to bring natural, elegant charm into your next project.
