These are pre-printed images from the Dover Library, available individually for only $2.50 each for the 1/6 page size: 3.67" x 4.25" and $3.75 for the 1/4 page size: 5.5" x 4.25"
Unlike antique cigarette silks, these "silkies" are printed on 283 count Premium Cotton Satin! It has a lovely weight, is slightly off-white, and the pictures are printed with photo-quality sharpness and detail. The colors and sharpness of the images is amazing!
This fabric is easy to work with, I leave enough of a margin to easily incorporate them into your CQ piecing, and in spite of the high thread count, I was surprised at how easy they are to needle - making them excellent for adding embroidery!
This is a great price! you can buy them separately, or order a whole sheet for only $12.99! I've collected lots of Dover Electronic Designs - some that will surely fill your needs and delight you! I have thousands of images! If you don't see something here that pleases you, call or email me and I'll send you some pictures to look over. You can let me know which ones you'd like to print!
Great News!
We've finally received our license to print the flower fairies images on our Silkies! This is very exciting!
Because of the extra costs involved, we will be charging $3.00 each for Flower Fairies Silkies in the 1/6 page size, and $4.50 for Flower Fairies in the 1/4 page size. Buy a whole sheet of flower fairies Silkies for only $15.99!
These are everyone's Favorite! Painted by Cecily Mary Barker beginning in the early 20th Century these charming fairies have become some of the best-loved images of all time! If you're not familiar with them, I will be doing my best to get examples of the fairies up on the site for you to choose from. I've put them into two Galleries. Click on each thumbnail to see a larger picture of the Fairy. These are a great addition to our Silkies! You'll love them!
