A new look for twine

Raise your hand if you have a ball of twine in a kitchen drawer. Most of us do, and most of us don't give it a second thought. While useful, twine is fairly boring. 
Until today. Dover Hill Studio's new Divine Twine collection turns this handy rope product into a thing of beauty. Twine outlines flowers, medallions, paisleys, swirls, and more in this rich, masculine-colored collection. Who knew twine could be so attractive?! 


Here's a closer look at the medallion print--these medallions can be fussy-cut into 6-1/2" squares--perfect for adding intricate detail to a quilt block. 


Divine Twine has two free quilt patterns. The first pairs the prints with coordinating Burlap colors to create a quilt made of contrasting shades.

The second uses fussy-cut medallion blocks alternating with a secondary pieced block with a nautical feel.

  1. Beautiful fabrics . . . this is my first visit, but I'm sure not my last. I would love making a quilt with these, they are so very BoHo, Love them! This is the time of year when my sewing machine actually get a rest. Spring and outdoor projects keep me pretty busy until everything gets a spring face lift and the garden is planted. This year I am putting in drip lines on some of the garden, so, more time to sew and less time moving sprinklers :)
    Have a lovely weekend I am delighted to have found your blog.
    Your newest follower and blogging sister.
    Come on over and think about following me back.

  2. Gorgeous fabrics. I'm certainly going to track this fabric line down in my local quilt shops, as well as favorite online shops. And I love the free pattern designs for this collection too.

    Of course, I'm looking forward to your March Madness quilt bracket. Quite fun last year.
