Here’s a closer look at Lecien’s Old New Fabric Collection 1930s, which I covered at Quilt Market last October. The Fat Quarter Shop seems to have the best selection at the moment — I’m surprised it’s not in more shops. Aren’t we all suckers for strawberries? See the complete collection archived on Flickr.

This winter was a flurry of activity for fabric designers; it saw the releases of dozens of new collections, including Patty Young‘s Flora & Fauna for Michael Miller Fabrics. We invited Patty to stop by the True Up, um, “virtual offices” (have a seat on the virtual couch! There’s room for virtually everybody!) to share [...]
Today we’re going to get a behind-the-scenes chat with Jenean Morrison, the sweet and extremely talented designer behind Free Spirit‘s Moondance, Picnic Parade and her latest, just-released collection, California Dreamin‘. Jenean is a prolific artist and pattern and surface designer, designing everything from rugs to stationery to (you guessed it) fabric. She often shares her [...]
I can’t get over how great this collection is. I love how the designer didn’t shy away from bold, contrasty colors that ring true to the 40s-50s. You might remember it from Quilt Market coverage — well now it’s available in the shops. Look for “sushi rolls” [...]
I don’t know how I missed Amy Barickman (Indygo Junction)’s holiday collection Chloe’s Christmas, especially since we just had an interview with her about her Sew-It Book reprinting and fabric collection! And it’s probably too late for this year’s holiday sewing, but I had to show it to you nonetheless. I think you should pick [...]
This Polish folk print, made to look (I think) like a vintage flour sack, was spotted at Karaku Style on Etsy. Related posts: Japanese Fabric of the Week Japanese Fabric of the Week Japanese Fabric of the Week Japanese Fabric of the Week Japanese Fabric of the Week
Prepare yourself for tiny button people! Amy Barickman is the genius behind the vintage-flavored Indygo Junction, The Vintage Workshop, a great source of vintage images and clip-art for creative projects, and vintage-inspired fabric designs. Her latest fabric line, for Red Rooster Fabrics, is based on her 2008 reprint of the 1929 classic Sew-It Book. Tiny [...]
Frumafar is a relatively new and Etsy shop based in Ibaraki, Japan, offering a small but quality selection of traditional yet simple Japanese designs (and some kawaii too). These three prints in particular caught my eye. No related posts.
The It’s-a-Small-World-inspired Good Earth is another wonderful collection from Alexander Henry. It comes in two colorways, Brite (above) and Pool (below). It would make a really cool quilt for a kid’s room, and the florals would make great retro 60s-70s dresses.
