A little piece of quilting nostalgia, Maisy by beloved children's author and illustrator Lucy Cousins brings everyone's favorite little mouse to life in this charming novelty print from Andover Fabrics. Released in 2009, the collection features Maisy and her friends surrounded by playful names and character details on a soft white background.
This particular print has such a wonderful vintage children's-fabric feel. Maisy and her friends appear in colorful little vignettes, with their names—Maisy, Mollie, Pippa, Eddie, and others—curving around the characters. The bright primary colors against the white background keep it cheerful without making it overly busy.
Because this collection dates back to 2009 and is no longer in current production, Maisy is a particularly fun find for collectors and anyone who remembers these beloved books. The original Andover collection included character prints, alphabet designs, stripes, dots, and panels, making this yardage especially fun for children's quilts, pillows, nursery projects, or a nostalgic sewing project.

Why We Love It
Some fabrics are simply fun to find again. Maisy is one of those.
The combination of the familiar characters, cheerful colors, and unmistakably nostalgic artwork makes this a wonderful choice for a child's quilt or sewing project—but it also has appeal for the grown-up who remembers reading Maisy's adventures. And because this is an older, out-of-print collection, it's a lovely opportunity to add a little piece of fabric history to your stash.
A charming vintage find for Maisy fans, collectors, and anyone who appreciates a good dose of childhood nostalgia.
