The main theme of the new collection "American Country 17" is  Plant Encyclopedia.

The panel looks like a front cover of a book showing you flowers and little creatures living in nature. Masako needs reading glasses and always enjoys a cup of tea when reading books.
You see these motifs at the bottom. 

The original design actually comes from a quilt that she made and was published in a magazine, Quilt Country No.52 by a french publisher "les editions de saxe". The quilt is beautifully and intricately appliqued and embroidered. 

If you purchase the panel fabric from us, we will be happy to give you this free bag pattern.
