Georgia by Brenda Riddle Designs for Moda
One of the blessings of designing fabric is when and where the inspiration is found. For this collection, my inspiration is from my mom, Georgia.
When I began quilting, Mom and I created a quilt together. She did embroidery squares and I designed the blocks and layout. One of the first decisions was what colors we were going to use, and I asked her what were her favorite colors when she was growing up. She didn't have just one, but she quickly answered that she had always loved lavender, soft green, and a little bit of yellow. That immediately became the colors we used in the quilt we made together. (I still have and treasure that quilt to this day!) A soothing, cool shade of lavender, soft green, a touch of butter yellow, a grounding pebble hue, and, of course, a soft white are featured in my Georgia collection, where vintage florals, basketweaves, small floral accents, and a sweet floral stripe create a classic vintage feel. ~Brenda
