🍂🥾 I’m thrilled to introduce you to my latest fabric collection, “Late Fall in the North Country,” now available on Spoonflower. Inspired by the rugged beauty of New Hampshire’s North Country hiking trails, this collection boasts 22 fabrics designed to evoke the essence of a late autumn hike through nature’s vibrant tapestry in the North Country of New England.
The crisp air, the crunch of leaves beneath your boots, and the riot of autumn colors that painted the forest have reached their peak and are fading fast. Late fall unveils its unique charm, offering a canvas of rich hues and a symphony of natural textures.
Oak Leaves and Acorns
As the vibrant tapestry of autumn matures, native trees like the sturdy oak and the elegant birch, grace the landscape with their fiery leaves. The forest floor is littered with reddish-brown acorns, each a tasty treat for a woodland creature or a promise of a sapling come spring. Underfoot, hard dirt trails reveal an array of New Hampshire’s geological treasures – after all, we are the granite state. Churning rivers, swollen from autumnal rain, rush along, carving their way through ancient valleys.
Meanwhile, the once bustling lakes, now cooling from the waning warmth of summer, hold quiet anticipation of the soon-to-come icy embrace. Here, serene moments are punctuated by the graceful glide of geese, taking a final respite before their journey south. Above, in the crisp blue sky, V-shaped flocks of birds embark on their annual pilgrimage to warmer climates.
