Bee Kind

BEE KIND - Jade Mosinski for Northcott Fabrics.

‘The hum of bees is the voice of a garden’. Can you spot this Elizabeth Lawrence quote? It’s a classic.

A year ago I met up with the team at Northcott Fabrics during a work trip to NYC. Whilst Northcott are based in Ontario, Canada, I am based in Brighton. So why NYC? We met whilst I was exhibiting at Blueprint last year and have been developing a new collection ever since. The new BEE KIND collection by Jade Mosinski is inspired by Jade’s best-selling Botanical Bee design.

“Created by celebrated English designer, Jade Mosinski, Bee Kind reflects her passion for nature, attention to detail, and her feminine design aesthetic. With bees under threat of extinction around the world, Bee Kind is well-timed. Spring is almost over, but it doesn’t have to be with this beautiful new collection of fabrics which are perfect for kids and grown-ups! Bees, hives, and freshly blossomed flowers feature in Bee Kind by Jade Mosinski; featuring a versatile panel, tossed blenders and an easy-to-sew tote bag project printed on durable canvas” Deborah Edwards, Northcott Fabrics.

I adore the tossed blenders in this collection; featuring daisies and bumble bees. If you haven’t come across the term tossed blenders before, these are non-directional patterns to co-ordinate with the collection’s main signature designs and panels.

‘The stunning panel print makes an ideal wall-hanging or focal point to any quilt. It can also be deconstructed to create blocks in any project from interesting tote bags to beautiful quilts. The floral damask can be used for blocks, but also makes a terrific backing. A variety of mix and match in a modern combination of hues including Wedgewood blue and green, mustard, and peach with fresh cream and dramatic black grounds’.

Have you spotted the Elizabeth Lawrence quote ‘The hum of bees is the voice of a garden’? See the bottom right corner of the panel.

I am so proud to represent Jade Mosinski and it is a pleasure to collaborate with Northcott - the results are spectacular. This is an exquisite range of patterns and projects for quilters and fabric lovers, just WOW!
