Nature's Portrait The Royal Horticultural Society 15 Fat Quarters Riley Blake Designs FQ-15670-15

Fabric bundle of 15 18-inch by 22-inch fat quarters from the Nature's Portrait collection by Riley Blake Designs. Nature's Portrait is a fabric collection inspired by the Royal Horticultural Society Lindley Collections, which houses one of the world's finest collections of botanical drawings, paintings, and literature. The artists featured in Nature's Portrait are Caroline Maria Applebee and Gertrude Jekyll. Caroline Maria Applebee (1787 - 1854) was an amateur plantswomen and watercolor artist. The daughter of a clergyman from a middle-class family in Essex, England, her work features a wide variety of exotic and ornamental flowers. The Lindley Library has over 300 watercolors of flowers from Applebee. Each illustration of Caroline Maria Applebee was executed on small sheets of watercolor paper and adhered to the album plates. Each is beautifully composed, and represent some of the most fashionable plants of the early 19th century. Gertrude Jekyll (1843 - 1942), artist, writer and one of the most influential 20th century garden designers. From an extraordinary scrapbook, 'Designs for Carving' (1866 - 1911), spanning 45 years of her life, our inspiration has been drawn from her sketches within. RHS's vision is a world where gardening is embraced as a way of life -- a source of joy and fulfilment, building healthier lives, stronger communities, and thriving environments. To achieve this, their mission is to be there for everyone on their lifelong adventure with gardening. Make gardening your lifelong adventure.
