Retailers, as always, if you carry any of these collections, let us know in the comments. This week, there was so much to cover, I broke [...]
Amy Butler‘s fabric was some of the first fabric that I ever bought, so I was thrilled to meet her in person and see the new lines. The booth featured Amy’s new line, Organic Soul, features prints “derived and rescued” from Amy’s Soul Blossoms collection. These prints will be available in FIVE substrates: corduroy, a [...]
Did I say that Echino was probably the most-photographed display? Certainly that honor has to go to Amy Butler.

It took forever, but that about does it for fabric previews from Spring Quilt Market 2010. Phew! But Quilt Market is all about hanging out with friends, putting names to faces, and making devious plans. Once again I suffered from fabric tunnel vision when it came to taking pictures, but here are some of my [...]

She took me on a whirlwind tour of What’s New in Thread … the biggest news being that Rowan is introducing premium-quality, long staple Egyptian cotton thread sets and individual spools that coordinate with Amy Butler’s and Kaffe [...]
