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 [...]
Next in Cloud9 Fabrics‘ Designer Series is Alegria by the very talented Geninne D. Zlatkis. So pretty, and I love the depth and richness of the watercolor art. It is expected to arrive in shops in Spring 2012.

{ Mer Shell Tana Lawn by Liberty of London } Hyggeligt stands out not only for its unusual name — which you’ll learn about below — but for its colorful, sophisticated, focused inventory. Chantal Lynch is the proprietress of this Canadian brick-and-mortar shop, which is located in the Richmond Row District in London, Ontario. The [...]
Admin note: The site is still experiencing outages and significant slowness, but I have a professional on the case now … we should be better-than-normal by this weekend. We’ll be posting whenever we can access WordPress ourselves. Thanks for sticking with us! { photo by Melissa Frantz } Cloud9 Fabrics has so much goodness going [...]

Cut Out & Keep by textile designer extraordinaire Heather Moore (Skinny LaMinx) is the first Designer Series collection for Cloud9 Fabrics. It’s based on her papercut designs, and as you can see, the collection is composed of four pairings of two prints using the same colors. I really like this approach — not that I [...]
Oh, Michelle and Gina, my camera must have been weeping tears of joy after learning of the artists of your upcoming Designer Series (Heather Moore of Skinny LaMinx, Julia Rothman, and Geninne D. Slatkis) because just about all my pictures turned out super blurry. I managed a few nice shots of your new Forest Friends [...]
Nature Walk is Cloud9 Fabrics‘ next-next organic fabric collection. It will be available in stores in January 2011 and is their first “price-sensitive” organic collection, with an MSRP of under $12/yard, made possible by using a different basecloth. As they explain on their blog, “Our newest fabric construction is a true, high-end quilter’s squares. Still [...]
