Brooklyn Mojo Fabric & Thread Bundle – Bodega Bloom

There's a particular kind of magic in the sliver of a flower shop outside a bodega. These neighborhood corner stores are where Brooklynites can grab a PowerBall ticket, a roll of TP, an egg and cheese on a roll, or a Dr. Brown's soda. And right outside, buckets of flowers line the sidewalk in a glorious jumble of color.

They're as much a part of the Brooklyn streetscape as the brownstones and concrete sidewalks. A quick bouquet on the way to the train to celebrate a friend's off-Broadway debut. A handful of flowers for the host of tonight's dinner party. Or a few stems just for yourself, because sometimes Tuesday deserves flowers, too.

Meet Bodega Bloom, our slightly idealized version of this everyday scene, rendered in fabric. The colors -- electric yellows, outrageous pinks, lavender, and brilliant orange -- all jostle for attention. Even the gray concrete gets a makeover, softened into a lavender haze.

This limited-edition collaboration between Pantera of Brooklyn Mojo and Kristin of Brooklyn Haberdashery celebrates a friendship rooted in a shared love of textiles, color, and creative expression. Whether you're quilting, visible mending, or making a little piece of textile art, there's something about this bundle that feels like bringing home a fresh bouquet. The pleasure of choosing colors, playing with arrangements, and making something beautiful just because. Only this time, you'll need scissors instead of a vase.

The Star of the Show

At the heart of this bundle is a hand-painted art cloth by Pantera Saint-Montaine of Brooklyn Mojo—a lifelong Brooklyn resident, artist, and educator.

Her hand-cut designs and printing techniques bring an unmistakable vibrancy to fabric. Layers of color, expressive marks, and wonderfully imperfect details reflect her fearless approach to art and the eclectic life that inspires it.

Each art cloth is a little different, making it a one-of-a-kind starting point for whatever you decide to create.
