New Arrival - The Beach House by Robyn Pandolph

At The Oz Material Girls we are always excited to bring our sewers and crafters newly released products and this one is BRAND NEW, it has not even been released in the US yet!

We are pleased to introduce Robyn Pandolph’s latest range, The Beach House. Typical of her soft, romantic designs, The Beach House fabrics showcase a gorgeous selection of roses and blenders in soft pastel tones.

These fabrics inspire thoughts of waking up in a shabby chic French hotel with crisp white linens, a sumptuous feather filled pillow and a beautiful handmade floral quilt, and we think our quilter followers will fall in love with them. They are also suitable for other craft, appliqué, home decorating, cushions and bags.

About RJR Fabric Designer, Robyn Pandolph

Quilter, designer, author, teacher, and mother, Robyn Pandolph came to the quilting world in a modest way. Like many of us, she grew up with a mother and grandmother who quilted and sewed, and she always had an interest in fabrics and design. Her life really changed in 1997 when she brought her Folk Art Wedding Quilt to International Quilt Market in Houston. With her soft pastel colors, and original folk art hand-appliqué, Robyn took the quilting world by storm. A successful fabric designer for over 10 years now, Robyn is the quintessential creator of sophisticated floral romance. – From RJR Fabrics
