Country Hens with Sunflowers in Folk Farmstead Style Fabric — Medium Scale

An original surface pattern from Better With Birds. Country hens stand among bright sunflowers in a folk-farmstead arrangement that nods to harvest season and late-summer gardens. Five colorways carry the print across blue, mauve, rose, slate, and taupe grounds — each warm, welcoming, and at home in a cottage kitchen, a breakfast nook, or a fall-themed quilt.

What you can make

The Medium scale puts hens and sunflowers on roughly an 8" repeat — small enough for tea towels and napkins to feel patterned but not busy, big enough that an apron pocket or quilt block reads as a complete farm scene. Strong picks: kitchen aprons, tea towels and dish towels, harvest-table tablecloths and runners, breakfast nook curtains, fall quilt blocks and quilt backings, throw pillow covers, and lampshades.
