Primrose & Parsley Fabric Collection - Nesting Carmel

Add homespun warmth to quilts and kitchen sewing with Nesting Carmel, a chicken-print fabric celebrating the small pleasures of farm life. Creamy white hens and pale golden chicks wander across a warm caramel background, accompanied by slender olive-brown branches and little blossoms in cream and rusty red. Several hens sit nestled among flowers, lending a decorative touch that feels as familiar as a painted plate on a farmhouse shelf. The earthy colors recall wooden cupboards, baskets of freshly gathered eggs, and unhurried mornings spent tending the flock. Sew this inviting design into an apron, bread basket liner, or patchwork placemats to bring a bit of that everyday contentment to your own kitchen. Finished with a small gingham check or a rust-colored border, these handmade pieces would feel right at home around a well-loved family table.

For best results: Machine wash cold with like colors using mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry.

Bring the simple joys of country life to your sewing with the Primrose & Parsley fabric collection, designed by Michal Marko. Baby goats, white hens, and tiny chicks share this pastoral world with rose bouquets, delicate meadow sprigs, and branches full of apples. Soft sage, blush pink, creamy neutrals, and earthy terracotta give the designs a welcoming warmth, with touches of lavender and golden yellow adding a cheerful lift. The illustrations recall flowers growing beside a garden gate, fruit picked for the kitchen table, and little barnyard companions going about their day. Together, they invite you to stitch a bit of that unhurried happiness into quilts, thoughtful gifts, and the everyday pieces that make a home your own.

Each print is made from 100% cotton and measures approximately 44" wide, offering a lovely starting point for patchwork, practical sewing, and country-inspired decor. Give the playful animals a starring role in your quilt blocks, then use the smaller florals and leafy orchard prints to connect the design with gentle changes in pattern and color. The balance of airy sprigs and fuller botanical arrangements makes it easy to build interest while preserving the collection’s relaxed feel. Beyond quilting, imagine a fabric basket beside your favorite chair, a floral cushion on a breakfast bench, or a table runner that makes even a simple meal feel thoughtfully prepared. Whether you are sewing something useful for yourself or creating a keepsake to share, Primrose & Parsley celebrates the pleasure of making beautiful things for the life you love.
