Adeline is a new 30s reproduction collection by Nancy Mahoney for P&B. Ms. Mahoney is a quilter, teacher, author, and designer. She has designed over a dozen fabric collections with P&B, and this is something like her 5th or 6th 30s collection. What a great mix of prints. If you’re loving the dress below as [...]
Jill McDonald is a surface designer and illustrator specializing in children’s prints. What a World, her first collection for P&B, is an ultra cute, panel-rific take on the Small World theme.
Carolyn Gavin‘s newest collection for P&B is called Soul Garden. It’s bursting with color and butterflies and you can practically hear the flute playing Grieg’s “Morning.” I love Carolyn’s painting that she put in the display too.
Karen Tusinski is an amazingly talented painter. Her work has been translated into a fabric collection by P&B Textiles — the collection Gallery Fiori is the latest to result from P&B’s partnership with Lilla Rogers Studio, who represents Tusinski (as well as fellow P&B designers Helen Dardik, Carolyn Gavin, and Jenn Ski). This painterly, textured, [...]
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 [...]
New Release Tuesday is my periodic roundup of new fabric sightings. 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! Bryant Park by Khristian A. Howell for Anthology Fabrics Bonjour by Diane Kappa [...]
The mood at P&B Textiles was somber because their owner/founder Irwin Bear passed away just a week before market. I never met him except through a few of his very informative blog posts, but he is legendary and hugely respected in the textile industry and everyone knew him. The folks at Alexander Henry remarked on [...]
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 [...]
I have been following Jenn Ski‘s work and blog for a long time now and knew it was only a matter of time before her designs were brought to cloth! Jenn is one of the three Lilla Rogers Studio designers that P&B Textiles recently licensed to create fabric lines. (Caroline Gavin’s Wild Thyme is already [...]
Nuances is a collection just out from P&B Textiles. Six 7″ wide stripes of different solid colors on one fabric. I assume they are printed rather than dyed (waiting for confirmation on that), but I can’t come up with any reason that would make much of a difference to me. For all you Paintbox Quilt-a-Longers, [...]
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 [...]
P&B Textiles has contracted with the amazing Lilla Rogers Studio to put some of their artists onto fabric. The first release will be Caroline Gavin‘s Wild Thyme, due in stores this October. My favorite from this collection is the pink version of the focus print, shown in closer detail below. Keep your eye on P&B [...]
