{ The Mossrock } I could look at Jill Bliss‘ work all day, so I was very excited to learn that she is now offering the fabrics she uses for her notebook covers and wallets as yardage. Fabrics are digitally printed onto quilting-weight cotton. I love that the names all start with “the,” hinting that [...]
{ Designs by Lucienne Day. L-R: Graphica, Riga, Spectators, Trio. } The Centre for Advanced Textiles at the Glasgow School of Art offers a commercial digital textile printing service, and, under the name Classic Textiles, reproduces designs from some of the U.K.’s most prominent and influential textile designers. Lucienne Day herself selected the 12 designs [...]
Liesl Gibson had a genius idea for her debut book Oliver + S Little Things to Sew. Sewing books are written, the projects in it sewn up and photographed, around a year before the book’s release. If the projects are sewn up in traditionally manufactured fabrics, those fabrics are typically out-of-print by the time the [...]
Monday will be a big day for Heather Ross and fans! She’ll be appearing live on the Martha Stewart Show on the Hallmark channel for a baby shower episode (that’s right, if you hadn’t heard, she’s expecting a baby this summer!). Heather will be demonstrating how to make baby bloomers, a pattern featured in her [...]
I’ve always wanted to see a fabric design reality show, of course I realize it wouldn’t be a chartburner … but then again, the market seems to support a half dozen reality shows about cake, so who am I to say? Anyway, Michael Miller Fabrics has teamed up with Spoonflower to give us the next [...]
Beautiful digitally printed designs by Lila Ruby King, who is an Australian currently living in Greece. In her Etsy shop you’ll also find art, paper goods, printables, jewelry, and bags adorned with her drawings. (Above: Weather Pattern) { Folk Birds } { Moth } { Woodgrain Sparrows } { Bugs } { Sticks } { [...]
While hanging out at the Maharam site for yesterday’s Tord Boontje post, I came across Maharam’s Digital Products — a series of large-scale digitally printed textiles intended for walls. One of them, Dutch Clouds, is by graphic designer and typographer Karel Martens. Thousands of multicolor icons form a photograph of clouds from afar. So mind-blowing [...]
Gant Powell is a NYC-based illustrator and essayist who says in his Spoonflower profile that he’s “experimenting with surface design.” Well please keep experimenting … I would love to see more sophisticated, hand-drawn designs like this out there. See Gant’s portfolio here.
Susanne Firmenich (aka Hamburger Liebe)’s designs have been featured before as the Digital Fabric of the Week and as part of Farbenmix’s first collection. She’s recently added two new collections for sale on Spoonflower which I wanted to share with you today. First is My Aunties, which Susanne says is “a collection of vintage designs [...]
Bon Bon Kakku is a digital textile printing company based in Finland. Anyone can submit designs, but only a select few are chosen to be produced and sold on the site. It’s been a while since I’ve checked in to see the new fabrics for sale … here are some of my favorites.
Oh boy, friends. I am SO out of it and overwhelmed — lately my life has been eaten by a bighugesecret project, on top of Quilt Market coverage. (My last official Fall Quilt Market post was on Friday, though I still have a few amazing, just less time-sensitive, things to share, and booty to give [...]
Earlier this month in this column I featured Wolfie and the Sneak‘s hand-drawn designs … now they’ve got this beautiful floral pattern available to download for free, to print on fabric or use for anything else. Follow the link for the full resolution image. Thanks for sharing, Renee!
Aunt June (aka Lauren Hunt) has a new digital design available via the Spoonflower Marketplace. Her birds are dressed up for Halloween, but her signature rainbow array of background colors makes this print suitable year-round. Read more about it, and about bad haircut stories, here. Awesome!
Wolfie and the Sneak, aka Renee Garner of North Carolina, has some amazing and mostly hand-drawn fashion prints available for sale on Spoonflower. The one above, Jessie Version 3, would be amazing on Spoonflower’s new silk crepe de chine. Also, I’m loving this trend of southwestern-inspired motifs. If you’d told me a year ago that [...]
Jessica’s roundup of people that have copied her Amusement Park fabrics made me kind of ill. I’m jealous of Blempgorf’s latest vintage fabric score. Makes me wish I could make it to Antique Weekend in Round Top, TX this week, but I’ll have to wait till the spring show. This quilt is just extraordinary, and [...]
