I am seriously one of the biggest Little House on the Prairie fans ever and the fact that Melissa Gilbert has started her own company, Modern Prairie, selling gorgeous home decor, clothing, cookware, and fabric, makes me over the moon happy! As a lifelong fan of Little House on the Prairie, both the books and the TV show have held a special place in my heart. Growing up, I was inspired by the stories of resilience, family, and love woven through the pages of the books and brought to life on screen by Melissa Gilbert’s portrayal of Laura Ingalls. The simplicity and strength of prairie life resonated with me then, and that nostalgia continues to influence my love for quilting and creative projects today.
That’s why I’m beyond excited about the A Walk on the Prairie collection from the Modern Prairie Company. It’s such a perfect blend of everything I adore—timeless beauty, vintage-inspired designs, and a connection to the simple joys of life. I’ll definitely be picking up the cheater print fabric and the pinafore panels for some upcoming projects. (Both are pictured below.) These pieces remind me so much of the charm and warmth of Little House, and I can’t wait to incorporate them into my sewing!
How cute is this cheater fabric and this pinafore panel? Absolutely adorable! You can find both by clicking here!
