I assumed Felicity Miller‘s new Charleston Farmhouse collection for Freespirit referenced Charleston, South Carolina, but no, it’s about the Charleston house in Sussex, England, the meeting place for the loose collective of creatives and intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury group. The focus print drew me in when I first saw it in a booth at Quiltcon — the navy [...]
I’m so charmed by Locally Grown by Creative Thursday for Andover. The two colorways are Neutral and the vintage-kitchen-inspired Kitsch. It started with family members’ search for the perfect chicken fabric, and grew from the inspiration of urban gardening and farmer’s markets. It’s in stores now. { photos courtesy of Creative Thursday - thanks [...]
Modern Home is the newest collection from Monaluna, Jennifer Moore’s self-produced brand of organic fabrics.

Sarah Fielke‘s newest collection is for Spotlight, a fabric store chain with locations in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. There she joins the ranks of Denyse Schmidt’s DS Quilts collection, Prints Charming, and Reprodepot.

Banksia Bloom is the newest GOTS certified 100% organic cotton collection by Saffron Craig for Fern Textiles. I know I’ve heard of these “kookaburras” and knew they were Australia-related but had no idea what they were, now thanks to Saffron I know they are birds that frequent rivers. The collection is also populated with Australian exotica [...]
Windham is throwing down the gauntlet on celebrity fabric collections with Amy Sedaris‘ I Like You. Take that, Marie Osmond and Ty Pennington! Aside from Amy’s celebrity, there sure aren’t enough funny/weird fabric collections out there so I hope this marks the beginning of a long and beautiful contract. Amy Sedaris is the author of [...]
