Fabric: Indiana Harvest Fabrics

NEW!!! The entire J. Phil Beaver Collection of the Indiana Harvest fabrics is available for sale here, on this website.

Nowhere on earth equals southern Indiana in autumn. A haze of violets, blue-violets and purples are at their best when Concord grapes ripen on the vines in September, and the reds and wine-reds of wild blackberry briars simply vibrate with subtle intensities. Maple tree leaves softly scream as they fade into variations of red, orange, reddish-orange, gold, golden-yellow, and finally dry into warm putty colors, fall and become a small part of a very rich tradition.

And the end of autumn has its own significance as dried corn turns to elegant golden-browns. The brittle stalks and fly-away leaves rattle in response to every gentle breeze, and each October landscape becomes more beautiful than those before.

I often travel far from home to many other states and all around the country, but my heart will always be in Indiana.

Hello,

I just wanted you to know that I just love your fabric! I, too, grew up in Indiana (Bloomington) and miss it terribly! I now live in New York and while I do have a New England Fall, nothing is quilt like Indiana. I have bought your fabrics and can't wait to work them in a quilt.

Thank you for letting me go home for a while.
