{ Alexia and Michelle Abegg of Green Bee Design & Patterns } Green Bee Design & Patterns had a booth at market for the second time ever to show off their hot-off-the-presses sewing pattern collection, and how great they look paired with Rob Bancroft’s new fabric collection, MicroMod for Cloud9 Fabrics. (Rob is 1/3 of Green [...]
The dynamic duo behind Cloud 9, Michelle Engel Bencsko and Gina Pantastico, presented so much this Market, I didn’t know what to show you first! All of Cloud 9′s gorgeous designs are printed on 100% certified organic cotton. First up, Mixteca by Eleanor Grosch. Eleanor pairs both cool and warm brights with black and white to [...]
I can hardly believe it, but it’s already getting to that time where companies are rolling out their previews of their collections debuting at Fall Quilt Market. We have already learned that the ever-growing Cloud9 Fabrics has brought Rashida Coleman-Hale, Rob Bancroft, Eleanor Grosch, Steffie Brocoli, and Lisa Congdon onto their designer roster for Fall [...]
{ All photos by Ellen Luckett Baker of The Long Thread } At each market the continuing growth of Cloud9 Fabrics is evident. I know to some it might seem like a small thing, but this was their first market with professionally made headers (swatches assembled on a hanger bound together up top with printed cardstock containing [...]
{ photo by Michelle Engel Bencsko } Monsterz by Michéle Brummer-Everett for Cloud9 Fabrics is finally available in stores now in a few weeks!

Cloud9 is gearing up for their next release, Monsterz by Michéle Brummer Everett. It’s so adorable and I think captures exactly what the modern parent wants to sew with. You could definitely say the same for all the Cloud9 Kids collections: Michéle’s follow-up, Seven Seas, and new Cloud9 Designer June Craft‘s Hey, That’s Swell!, which [...]
In the first post I mentioned how Cloud9 is growing. Not only are they moving in to bona fide headquarters soon, they have a new partnership with the legendary artist Ed Emberley. He formed (at least) an entire generation of artists with his drawing books, so I can’t be more excited to see him on [...]
I think this is true of all the small organic fabric companies, but I think Cloud9 Fabrics, with the caliber of their designs and the breadth of artists they are getting onto fabric, is pushing the industry forward in a big way. The collections they were showing at Market — their current collections as well [...]
Kimberly of The Fat Quarter Shop invited me to create a Blogger’s Choice Fat Quarter Bundle, and of course I said yes! I have to admit it is something that I’ve always wanted to do. It was inspired by the wonderful, simple, vintage 4- and 9-patch quilt squares like these that you find at flea [...]
