Fabric - Fat Quarter - Candy Stripe Zinnia
The zinnia plant, both flowers and leaves, were used by many southwestern tribes as medicinal and ritual herbs. Some have said that the Navajo tribe considers the zinnia one of the sacred life medicines. Still other, Pueblo, tribes are thought to believe the zinnia a symbol of wisdom. We do know, however, that zinnias were used by some southwestern tribes to make brightly-colored dyes and paints. The zinnia, itself, is representative of lasting friendship, constancy, affection and goodness. The yellow zinnia, specifically, is symbolic of daily remembrance. Now that, sprinkled with the constancy associated with the red zinnia -- of course, many believe that any red flower or red on a flower is indicative of love and passion because those are attributes of the color itself. Until 1957, when it was replaced by the peony, the zinnia also had the distinction of being Indiana's State Flower. This delightful, sunny bloom is replicated in a brick-pattern tiling across this delightful "fat quarter" of fabric. Fat quarters offer a lot of versatility. Whether you are sewing pillows, doll clothing, or a patchwork quilt, this stunning fabric brings beautiful color and a touch of nature to your creations.
