NEW! Afternoon Picnic Fabric and Pattern by Team Nancy Zieman

Afternoon Picnic
Dreamy thoughts of warm summer afternoons are the inspiration for Nancy Zieman’s gorgeous NEW! fabric collection. Pretty pale prints honor delicate blooming flowers that arrive only in the warm sunny days of summer. A sprinkling of flower petals adorns soft floral coordinates. Tonal prints read as solids yet showcase floral elegance. Subtle placement of a few white dots brings playfulness while black floral prints add drama. The addition of gingham prints are the perfect compliment and add a playfulness to this sweet floral collection. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon picnic on a warm sunny day while surrounded by the beauty and splendor of summer’s delicate blooms.
Introducing the NEW! Afternoon Picnic Fabric Collection—A beautiful new floral fabric collection from Nancy Zieman Productions, LLC and Riley Blake Designs. Nancy very much enjoyed designing this new fabric line featuring 15 pretty floral prints plus three fresh gingham prints in shades of blues, reds, pinks, yellows, and black. All fabrics are 100% Cotton.
