Here are Robert Kaufman‘s collections for Halloween and Christmas 2012. Industry-wide, Holiday collections usually come out around May, but these may be slated for earlier. Pink Light Design takes over the ongoing Eerie Alley Halloween line this time around. Nordica Flannel is a cozy collection with with traditional Scandinavian winter motifs. Makes me want [...]
Lesley Grainger has a collection each for boys and girls. Launch, above (December 2011); and the all-flannel Pretty Paisley, below (2012). Flannel panel!
The Dr. Seuss licensed collections have been very successful for Robert Kaufman, so they are continuing to expand the selection. Celebrate Seuss! Is an Seuss all-star collection. I’ve been anticipating the appearance of my favorite Seuss book, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, and here it is! Celebrate Seuss! and The Cat in [...]
Jen Eskridge of ReannaLily Designs is my new-Stash-book sister! Her book, Deploy That Fabric: 23 Sewing Projects That Use Military Uniforms in Everyday Life, is all about upcycling military uniforms to celebrate service members, and mixing these textiles with modern fabrics to create beautiful and awesome things for everyone. Of course, I have to zone [...]
New Release Tuesday is my periodic roundup of new fabric sightings (mostly quilting cottons). These fresh arrivals have started to arrive in fabric shops and are ready to buy. Retailers, as always, if you carry any of these collections, let us know in the comments. This week, there was so much to cover, I broke [...]
I will admit that I have been putting off these posts because there is just so much to write about! The folks at Robert Kaufman had tons of new stuff to show at market and were very excited to share it all. One corner of the booth featured Kaufman’s Kona solids and the quilts created [...]
Both of these collections have gotten a lot of press– you can see Laurie Dewberry’s recap of market including some more beautiful booth pictures here. Anna Maria has also gone public with her Needleworks collection (there’s also a link there to a segment with the DIY Dish ladies explaining more details about LouLouThi). Kristen is [...]
Remember meeting Alyssa Thomas of Penguin & Fish? And the news that she has a fabric collection coming out with Clothworks? Well, not only do we now have a name (Safari Sweet), a preview, and a release date (August 2011), but also news that the collection is the first for a new organic brand that [...]
Oh, Michelle and Gina, my camera must have been weeping tears of joy after learning of the artists of your upcoming Designer Series (Heather Moore of Skinny LaMinx, Julia Rothman, and Geninne D. Slatkis) because just about all my pictures turned out super blurry. I managed a few nice shots of your new Forest Friends [...]
As we saw in the Alice Kennedy post, Timeless Treasures is getting in on the trend of new substrates. In addition to laminates and home dec weight cotton, they’re also introducing their first cotton lawn collection, Darling Clementine. It is arriving in stores now — Pink Chalk Fabrics was the first to get it. Though [...]
{ Zoo Menagerie – Green Colorway } I love love love Eleanor Grosch. The Philadelphia-based illustrator is best known for her retro-modern, graphic animal illustrations. I loved her collection for Keds, and in fact I still have these shoes which I wore to death and are really decrepit now but I can’t bear to get [...]
Erin McMorris‘ followup to her wonderful Weekends is Irving Street Flannel, a bright, cheery kid’s collection in three colorways inspired by her hometown of Portland, OR. Makes me want to move to there … but then again, what doesn’t? Irving Street is available in stores now.
Not sure when these collections are coming out — throughout the summer and maybe a little into fall, I’d guess … Logan is Vicki Payne‘s followup to For Your Home, her debut collection eponymously named for her PBS show. Logan is a group of classic, simple, bold home dec-weight prints in a lovely, springy palette. [...]
Michelle Engel Bencsko and Gina Pantastico of Cloud9 Fabrics were at Market showing off their new collection Beyond the Sea (which folks only got to see on paper last time, if memory serves). They both had the cutest clothes sewn out of their fabrics! We stayed at the same hotel so I got to eat [...]
