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 just had a few minutes before closing to check in with the reps at P&B Textiles. They were getting a lot of deserved attention for two lines in particular — Toomuchery by Helen Dardik and Gallery Fiori by Karen Tusinski. Both artists are represented by Lilla Rogers studio, with whom P&B has been contracting [...]
Woohoo! The previews are starting to come out in force in advance of Spring Quilt Market. Here’s a sneak peek at Helen Dardik‘s second collection for P&B, Toomuchery. I’m going nuts over here, this is so perfect. A panel print! Butterflies! Crazy Helen florals unleashed! Color color color! And it comes out on merely a [...]
Helen Dardik + Retrosaria = quality ribbon by quality people! What’s Up With Cotton? A dozen or so statements from the major quilting manufacturers on the causes of the price increase of cotton, and what it means for you. (via Fabritopia‘s twitter) Here’s Whipstitch on the same topic. Marimekko is tripling their textile production capabilities, [...]
I knew the alleged Kokka copying of a Helen Dardik design had to be a fluke — Kokka has a great reputation for integrity, and they have an abundance of original, insanely talented, and forward-thinking designers. Copying is just way, way below them. I received a copy of an email exchange with Kokka from a [...]
Tula Pink copied by unknown Wal-Mart supplier Very Denyse-Schmidt-Flea-Market-Fancy-looking but not Denyse-Schmidt-sanctioned tights at Anthropologie, via Film in the Fridge This Kokka print is extremely derivative of a Helen Dardik design. And, I just happen to be working on a post about low-quality ripoffs of Kokka prints. There are always more players in the supply [...]
A lot to catch up on this week! Here are the newest collections now available to buy from your favorite fabric shops. Heather Ross‘ Far Far Away II for Kokka Erin McMorris’ Weekends for Freespirit — the bikes are a huge hit — I love the mod florals! Mod Kitchen is a little more subdued [...]
You know Helen Dardik, right? Orange You Lucky blog? One of a kind paintings? Amazing surface design? Thought so. We’ve pointed her out before. Now, lucky for us, Helen has been developing a fabric collection with P&B Textiles, and recently she gave us a sneak peek. Few people, in my opinion, can make spatulas and [...]

Helen Dardik is an extremely talented illustrator represented by Lilla Rogers Studio. I love this pattern, called “Birds in a Garden,” that she posted on her blog, Orange You Lucky. She wrote: I was making it as a wallpaper, but when finished – decided it could make it in fabric world. At the moment, the [...]
