Brenda Riddle's Georgia Collection

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. (Also, as a part of this Georgia collection, I am re-releasing a very special quilt called “Remember ‘Whoo’ Loves You,” created to share the love my mom had for all the grand-littles she never got to meet.)
