Fabrics by the Yard by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Fabrics by the Yard by P. Buckley Moss is a rare, limited edition lithograph that beautifully captures the timeless tradition of quilting and sewing within a quaint country store setting. A young woman, dressed in simple attire with a bonnet framing her serene face, is thoughtfully cutting fabric at a wooden counter. Behind her, bolts of colorful fabrics line the shelves in an array of pastel shades—lavender, rose, sky blue, mint, and golden tones—adding vibrancy and warmth to the composition. A quilt block hangs on the wall, symbolizing both heritage and craft, tying the scene to generations of quilt-making artistry.

This piece belongs to Moss’s beloved One Girl Collection and holds a special place within her Quilting Collection, both of which honor the role of women, tradition, and the artistry of handwork in American folk life.

Style & Technique

The lithograph showcases her distinctive use of soft, earthy tones balanced with bright accents of fabric color, creating both harmony and contrast. Moss’s figures are stylized yet deeply expressive, their quiet demeanor capturing an inner strength and dignity.

The choice of lithography as a medium ensures precision in every detail—from the delicate folds of fabric to the geometric quilt pattern—while retaining Moss’s painterly warmth. This rare edition stands as a testament to her ability to blend folk charm with fine art technique, making each print feel personal and timeless.
