The Homestead Fabric Collection - Icon Toss Cream

Gather a few memories of country living with Icon Toss Cream, a nostalgic Western fabric that lends a welcoming touch to keepsake quilts and farmhouse sewing. Its softly shaded ivory background leaves breathing room around golden rider silhouettes, brown saddles, cowboy boots, and well-worn-looking hats. Smaller horseshoes and buckle illustrations add to the sense of discovering familiar treasures tucked away in an old ranch trunk. Build a family quilt around this print, alternating the illustrated fabric with solid blocks embroidered with names, dates, or a favorite saying. The light background can also offer a visual pause among darker fabrics, helping a richly colored patchwork design feel more open and balanced. For a smaller project with personal meaning, sew a cover for a journal filled with riding memories, garden notes, or plans for the homestead.

For best results, machine wash cold on a normal cycle with mild detergent, tumble dry low and remove promptly; Use only non-chlorine bleach. Pre-washing is recommended. *Fabrics are not recommended for children's sleepwear.

Stitch the spirit of ranch life into quilts and farmhouse décor with The Homestead fabric collection, designed by Tara Reed. Sketched horses, cowhide-inspired patches, and a nostalgic mix of cowboy boots, hats, saddles, and horseshoes celebrate the familiar sights of life around the ranch. Deep brown, warm cream, sandy tan, golden ochre, and barn red create an inviting palette, with touches of black adding a little rugged contrast. Each print is 100% cotton and measures approximately 44" wide, offering plenty of possibilities for patchwork, home accents, and thoughtful handmade gifts. Picture a quilt folded over a porch swing or a table runner greeting the family at breakfast, bringing that easygoing ranch-house feeling into everyday spaces. With its blend of frontier character and farmhouse warmth, this collection recalls quiet mornings, wide-open skies, and the comfort of coming home after a day outdoors.

For a project that brings this country-inspired story together, the free downloadable On The Ranch quilt pattern uses the On The Ranch Panel as its centerpiece. It is a meaningful starting point for a quilt that celebrates your own rural roots or a loved one’s connection to horses and ranch living. When exploring ideas of your own, contrast the fine horse illustrations with bold cow patches, or add simple solids to give the detailed Western motifs a little breathing room. Beyond quilting, consider a tote for weekend outings or coordinating cushion covers to make an entryway bench feel more welcoming. Smaller offcuts can find their way into pieced pockets and zippered pouches, carrying a touch of the homestead into useful everyday accessories. Whether you follow the featured quilt pattern or choose a project close to your heart, The Homestead invites you to turn familiar country comforts into pieces made to be used, shared, and enjoyed.
