What is Prairie Chic?
Posted by westplainsquiltco on Monday, March 9th, 2009
What is "Prairie Chic?" Although it's not in the dictionary or Wikipedia, it's a term I like to refer to as My Quilting Style! I love, love, love shabby chic florals AND traditional vintage prairie style fabrics. Bring them together and you have Prairie Chic! Besides, I live on a street called Prairie Crest and the view from my back window overlooks a prairie.
When I first opened the shop, the original name was Prairie Crest Fabrics. The funny thing is that people have a really hard time spelling the word PRAIRIE. So I changed the name to West Plains Quilt Co. I also live on the west plains of Eastern Washington state. So I figured I had all my bases covered.
Prairie Chic fabrics you'll find in my store include anything from delicious florals to homespun folk art-type fabrics. You probably won't find batiks in my shop -- unless they are truly fabulous and somehow go with our theme.
If there's something you think goes with our Prairie Chic style and you'd like to see it on the website, just drop me a line.
Thanks for stopping by!
I love this woman.

Prairie Chic is a cute name and how you came up with it is interesting. These Cowgirl pics are so cute.by Tahoenana on 06 June 2009 at 8:24 a.m.
