I love this simple scribble stripe from the Puti de Pome collection from Kiyohara — though the collection is ultra cute and kid-themed this stripe could be anything you wanted it to be.

The booth showcasing Etsuko Furuya’s Echino Fall 2011 collection was full of greatness. It also demonstrated that you can do anything with cotton-linen that you can do with quilting cotton, and then some. At the bottom, two “bonus prints” that will be delivering to stores later — everything else is already out. Apologies [...]
I got to spend a little more time with Melody Miller and Allison this time around at Quilt Market, and I can vouch for the fact that they’re as awesome as they seem. I just want everyone to move to Austin so I can hang out with them more! I am in love with Melody’s [...]

And everyone thinks, daaaaaamn, some say they’re played out now, but [...]

These are not the first of Yamada’s designs to be put on fabric by Kokka, but it might be the largest and most cohesive collection to date. These fabrics are a [...]
Ruby Star Spring, Melody Miller‘s second collection for Kokka, is now arriving in stores, and I can’t wait to get my hands on some. I love the pixelly designs and Melody’s inventive colorways. It’s a 62″ cotton-linen blend in a new lighter weight. “Bee” (center) is very large-scale (see this picture for reference) — the [...]
