There are several themes I’ve run here on the Daily Swatch that deserve a second run, but I’ve only come across one or two additional feature-worthy designs, not enough to fill an entire week. Since I’ll be on vacation this week and revisiting other posts from the archives, I thought this would be a good [...]

Various prints will be available on quilting weight cotton, home dec weight cotton, flannel, laminate, and double-faced quilted fabrics. The variety of basecloths is very exciting, as is the mixture of styles and motifs in this collection. I’m [...]
My Happy Garden fat quarter bundle. Get a closer look at these prints here. It’s a HUGE month for Michelle Engel Bencsko of Cicada Studio and Cloud9 Fabrics. (And with Quilt Market coming up next month, I don’t think she’ll get to slow down any time soon.) She has designed two fabric collections that are [...]
Oops, I forgot to put one up yesterday, so here’s a twofer today. The farm fabric (c.1940) above and the city fabric (c.1950) below are both from Antique Fabric.
Heather Moore, aka Skinny LaMinx, gave a peek at her vintage fabric stash beautifully stored in two glass-fronted cabinets. Oh, the beauty, concentrated all in one place. I love storage that puts the fabric on display. Here are a few words from Heather: I’m so pleased to have my stash in plain view at last, [...]
jessica gonacha’s 2010 pattern calendars Sanna Annukka Display at Marimekko. Breathtaking. Textiles by Fiona Howard featured on Print & Pattern Mary Beth lists six sources of free fabric. I’m loving her Sew for Broke columns! A tip for sewing knits on the Gorgeous Fabrics Blog. Malka found that sewing talk is a good mood-altering substance. [...]
A couple years ago there was a Japanese line of Ed Emberley products in Japan (totes and clocks and other goods … you can still find the totes online but I’m not so sure of the other stuff). I was puzzled why it didn’t make it over here. Does any American child of the 1960s [...]

(through tonight only, [...]
I guess it’s borderline whether you could call this one a landscape — it might be zoomed in a little close to qualify, but once I saw happy boys ogling over their gun, I just couldn’t resist! That girl is thinking, umm, OK, I’m getting my baby out of here right quick. This one is [...]
