Alexander Henry will addresses some fabrically-underserved holidays in Spring 2012 with Love, Luck, and Liberty — Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and 4th of July, respectively. What does it say about me that the gray Valentine’s print below reminds me of Rear Window? And that wraps up the AH offerings for Fall and Spring 2012. Which [...]
Alexander Henry continues the tradition of rendering global and ethnic themes in their own lush, gorgeous style with Africa and Brazilia. Brazilia:
I’m loving Metro — it’s a dreamy, jazzy, Beatnik-era cartoon vision of fast-paced city life.
Now we’re getting into Alexander Henry‘s Big Black Book, which showcases prints that haven’t yet made it to fabric but probably will over the next season. Nicole’s Prints are a fun assortment of themes and motifs, and Monkey’s Bizness is their kid’s line. First, Musing on a Moustache and Where’s My ‘Stache? — hopefully will [...]
Barcelona (and you have to say it with a “th”) was featured in Alexander Henry‘s booth along with Folklorico. It’s a mini collection printed on “super shirting” — a beautiful, drapey, soft, apparel-friendly basecloth that can still easily pass for a quilting cotton. Barcelona comes in four colorways: Fiesta (brights), Bougainvillea (pink and blue), Indigo, [...]
Alexander Henry‘s booth was all about Folklorico, their ongoing Mexico-themed collection (the booth also featured a new collection called Barcelona, which we’ll look at in the next post). Nicole and Phillip told me that Folklorico has always been their “second-bestselling” collection … #1 always rotates, but Folklorico is always a strong second. So I guess [...]
Alexander Henry‘s The Ghastlies were a huge hit from the moment they were introduced at Fall Quilt Market 2009. Nicole and Phillip de Leon said that they took on a life of their own — as they and their customers lived with them and created with them for a while, the backstory evolved and their [...]
Alexander Henry has a newly designed website! Hooray! Can’t wait to see the new collections.
There is no other fabric shop like Voodoo Rabbit. In their own words, “They specialise in a range of fabrics and sewing supplies that match their own tastes — eclectic, rockabilly, retro, vintage, punk, sleek geek, dark and ‘a bit goth.’ … Voodoo Rabbit loves skulls, cherries, black, red, white, space invaders, cotton textiles and [...]
Hi! I am new to the fabric world and I was looking for some good tips on what is the best sheer or gauze fabric. I keep seeing the term voile used and organza. I want something that is really sheer and with a great color print. Any ideas where I can get this or [...]
Alexander Henry has several new mini-collections out. First up, Wonderland and Wonderbug in Indigo and Red (above) and Tea and Verbena (below). Next, Park and Ride, which goes with Park and Moo and Dots and Daisies: Cookery features an alphabet print with a coordinating stripe and small-scale floral: And these Christmas birds: [...]
New Release Tuesday is my periodic roundup of new fabric sightings (mostly quilting cottons). These fresh arrivals have started to arrive in fabric shops and are ready to buy. Retailers, as always, if you carry any of these collections, let us know in the comments. Wow, I’ve put this off so long that the new [...]
In addition to larger lines, Alexander Henry usually adds several prints to ongoing collections, including Nicole’s Prints, Christmas lines, and Folklorico. These were all on paper and will be printed once they have sufficient order numbers.
The Alexander Henry booth was hopping! They were showing lots from currently available lines, and their new releases for Spring Market were short, sweet, and awesome. The booth theme was “Denim Friendly” and they had a great indigo/bird/batik-style thing happening on the walls with a several border and all over prints from the Larkspur line. [...]
