Invite a new staple into your fabric stash with the Brushstrokes Fabric Bundle from Studio e. This collection by Pepper Cory is a beautiful assortment to use for your next quilting project. Lending themselves more to texture than print, the fabrics in this collection feature a thatched weave design. Lighter thread weaves through each darker fabric color, creating a rustic and vaguely plaid appearance. Due to the cross-hatched design, the texture may appear rough at a glance, but the fabric is soft to the touch and 100% cotton.

Sixteen fat quarters are included in this bundle and the fabric comes in each of the following colors: parchment, pewter, horizon blue, mushroom, bark, tangerine, gold, sprout, mulberry, lotus pink, kale, shamrock, Bahama blue, indigo, crimson, and raven.

Any artist would appreciate the fabric in this collection. Of course, the title Brushstrokes evokes the image of a paintbrush drawing strokes of paint roughly down a canvas. The lay of the threads also reminds one of practicing hatching and cross-hatching in art class! This fabric would make a beautiful tote for art supplies or a wall hanging for an art studio. That said, don't be limited! Use this beautiful textured fabric for any project you desire.

Using fabrics with the same texture within a project creates such a stunning effect! A quilted tote in rainbow colors becomes so much more intriguing to the eye when a subtle texture like Brushstrokes is overlaid. You won't be able to resist running your fingers over any new project---the textures are just so visually compelling!

For the artist in your life or for any loved one who can appreciate a beautiful, subtle texture, be sure to quilt them a project using this beautiful Brushstrokes Fabric Bundle from Studio e.
