Alyssa Thomas of Penguin & Fish was at Quilt Market spreading the embroidery love, celebrating the recent arrival of her debut organic fabric collection Safari Sweet, and previewing her next collection with Clothworks, Picnic Pals Organic. I can see this going older or younger depending on the combination of prints, and all together it’s a [...]
Let’s not forget about Anna Griffin‘s fabrics in the excitement over Blend. Honoka, meaning “harmony flower,” is “an elegant collection of antique Asian patterns and original Japanese silk screen prints. Symbolic subjects like dragonflies, fish and flowers create a harmonious balance of patterns for sewing enthusiasts. The color palette of steel gray, plum, gold and [...]

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 [...]
Jennifer Moore was booth-ing it at Quilt Market for the second time for her organic fabric company Monaluna, showing off her recently introduced collections Marin and Anika, the earlier Monaco, and her brand-new collection Taali. I love them all! And I think it’s so cool how she designs distantly different styles for Birch, Robert Kaufman, [...]
