Painterly Peonies is a soft, romantic floral printed linen exploring the delicate beauty of peony blooms. Hand-painted artist Carolyn Quan, this design captures the sweeping layers, gentle depth, and organic movement of peony petals in fine artistic detail.
Each bloom is built from delicate painted layers, giving the design a soft, luminous quality and a sense of quiet movement across the cloth. It's a design for sewists who love florals with depth and nuance rather than bold statement colour.
Printed on premium wide-width linen with a washed finish, Painterly Peonies has a natural texture and elegant drape, making it ideal for both fashion garments and home projects. Naturally leaning into the peony colour palette, this fabric is made up of shades of pink and lilac, with petal highlights and details in white and golden yellow.
This exclusive hand-painted design is for sewists who love soft, romantic florals and fabrics that feel like wearable art.
Perfect for Flowing dresses, blouses, soft furnishings, quilting, and delicate home linens.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
The inherent nature of linen fabric means there are often uneven threads (slubs) and minor imperfections in the fabric. This is a natural texture and is not considered a flaw in the fabric.
For our printed fabrics it's possible that there could be minor areas that have not been printed due to small fibres or slubs.
Refunds or exchange will not be issued based on this alone, and will be at our discretion. By purchasing the product you accept these features. If you have any questions about your fabric please contact us.

from 2 reviewsThis is a beautiful piece of fabric. It is lightweight and the colours in the spring flowers are beautiful. It is very different to other fabric patterns. I am sure that it will be turned into a very pretty and pleasing dress.
These are nice pins to use. They were a pleasant surprise with my [purchase.
