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 [...]
Anna Maria Horner, together with Anchor and Westminster, has launched Anna Maria Needleworks, packages of pearl cotton and stranded embroidery floss that coordinate with her fabric collections. And if you’re going to Spring Market, or just live near SLC, join her at Piper’s Quilts & Comforts, 1944 South 1100 East, Salt Lake City, on Friday, [...]
Since Innocent Crush has been in stores for a few weeks now and Anna Maria has written all about it (including this comprehensive intro to velveteen) on her blog, I hope I’m not too late to the party with this post! Hopefully I can add to your knowledge of the line. Like, you knew that [...]

Yippee! Keep an eye on her blog for more. Though I know you already do. Innocent Crush will debut at Fall Quilt Market and be in stores shortly afterwards. Also? I want those tights!
Thank you so much for all the comments on the Anna Maria Horner blog tour post! In case you missed it, I asked you to recount the most ridiculous baby gear you’ve encountered. I read them all and compiled a Hall of Shame, conveniently divided into categories … Changing Related: Wipe warmers (definitely #1 amongst [...]
{ Anna Maria in her maybe-award-winning-again booth at Spring Quilt Market } I’m sure you’ve learned all about Anna Maria Anna Maria Horner’s new book, Handmade Beginnings: 24 Sewing Projects to Welcome Baby, on all the fantastic blogs that have hosted her earlier blog tour stops. If not, well. Let me tell you. Handmade Beginnings, [...]
I can’t tell you how excited I am about Anna Maria Horner‘s new collections for FreeSpirit: Little Folks cotton voile (which I heard pronounced “voy-ul” more often than not — I hereby decree you can use that or the Frenchier “vwall”), Little Folks flannel, Little Folks dobby dots, and last-but-not-least, Little Folks oilcloth. I’m excited [...]
FreeSpirit is taking their “lifestyle fabrics” branding seriously. Later this year we can look forward to a number of apparel fabric collections from new and established designers, and I couldn’t be more excited. Above, a rayon poplin print from the Van Gogh collection (designer unknown). (via blempgorf). Jay McCarroll’s and Anna Maria Horner’s upcoming collections [...]
Good Folks – Byzantine Palette The extremely talented and busy Anna Maria Horner‘s fifth fabric collection, Good Folks, was recently released by FreeSpirit. Good Folks is full of meandering florals that nicely bridge the divide between graphic and organic, complemented by the stronger lines of the Greek-influenced “Buttoned Up,” and the bold, versatile circles of [...]
If you’re not already a fan of Anna Maria Horner’s fabric, you will be after perusing her new sewing book Seams to Me: 24 New Reasons to Love Sewing.

I’ve received a few queries from people looking for recently released fabrics. I’m going to do the lazyweb hive-mind thing and turn the questions over to you! Denyse Schmidt’s County Fair is beginning to arrive in shops … Lisa is looking for the “Promenade Patchwork” cheater cloth and finding it’s already sold out everywhere she [...]
Everyone has gone crazy over Anna Maria Horner’s Drawing Room line of home decor-weight fabrics. Right on its heels is the quilting-weight line Garden Party, in signature vibrant Anna Maria style. She just keeps outdoing herself, don’t you think? I love how she makes traditional florals look very un-shabby chic, and the genius of her [...]
Chickpea Sewing Studio has a Flickr set on Quilt Market. I really like American Jane. Kathy of Pink Chalk Studio is sharing lots of juicy booth shots. Lizzyhouse‘s report is a love song to Portland. I can relate. Myrinda of Fabric Hound says she saw only 10-15% of the show in the time she was [...]
