Jenean Morrison had an insanely creative booth. So I would have given her the Creativity Award if Quilt Market hadn’t beaten me to it. It made me think “Is there anything fabric can’t do?” Also, I’ve compared fabric to music before (collections = albums, etc.) so it’s just so helpful when designers actually name their [...]
I finally got to meet Mark Cesarik and his wife Cara at this Market and they are the greatest people! Cara is the sewist and marketing side of the team, and she somehow squeezes this all in between studying at med school. In their booth they were showing off Mark’s new collection for FreeSpirit, Morning Tides, which [...]
Art Gallery Fabrics showed off their most recently released collections by Patricia Bravo with some magnificent, glowing, colorful displays.

Maude Asbury may or may not be a real person, but she can make a mean fabric collection or three. Calypso, out now, is an exciting mix of graphic florals and geometrics. By the way, I love Anna Griffin/Blend‘s fabric ladder displays. Kitchy Kitchen is also out now. Tinsel is for Christmas 2012 [...]
Anna Griffin just launched her own fabric company last fall, and already she’s launched a new division, Blend, featuring licensed artists from around the world of the mostly-modern type. The rookie team includes Jessica Swift and Sarah Watts. I believe you’ve already met Jessica here, but not Sarah, since this is her first fabric collection. [...]
