Elephant Showers, a house collection from Timeless Treasures, is so retro-good, I may not need to shop for vintage fabric again. Well, that will never happen, but these happy 60s-70s prints made the thought at least cross my mind, so that’s saying something! { image courtesty Hawthorne Threads }
So there is a pretty significant divide between the quilting, home decor, and fashion worlds. This divide hasn’t evolved out of mutual dislike, it’s just different focuses, different distribution models, different markets. But, newbies don’t always anticipate the divide, and it may take them a while before reality sets in. They proceed blithely, armed only [...]
Timeless Treasures is starting to corner the market in computer geek fabrics. I think everyone loved Smirk by Kyla May, with its Pac Man and Space Invaders prints. Next up, we have Mechanical Genius by Mo Bedell. And, a couple cute novelty mini-collections: Computer (an in-house collection) Gumball Machines. OK, maybe not geeky per [...]
I was also thrilled to meet Alice Kennedy for the first time. I’ve remarked in amazement before about how prolific she is with the gorgeous fabric collections. I learned she works full-time for Timeless Treasures. Aaahhh … the pieces are all coming together for me now! Alice has two new collections: Lemon Grove and Orange Crush. [...]
It is the way of Quilt Market chaos — there are online friends you can’t wait to meet, and you make best-laid plans over email, then manage to never so much as lay eyes on them over the course of the weekend. But then there’s always a person who you run into again and again [...]
Also new from Timeless Treasures is Hoodie‘s L’Amour de La Vie. The Parisian theme is a perennial favorite, and Hoodie has made it her own with folky, graphic, and colorful styling. As she writes on her website, “Black Ground is all year around!” In addition to the quilting cottons, at least one of these prints [...]
Elephants on Parade is a new in-house collection from Timeless Treasures. The bright colors and black backgrounds give it such a 60s-70s vibe, and I’m loving the village print. Elephants on roofs! Spotted at Hancock’s of Paducah.
Rashida Coleman-Hale has an upcoming collection with Timeless Treasures partly inspired by Japanese washi tape. For whatever reason, this design didn’t make the cut, but she’s offering it on sale at Spoonflower. I love the idea of designers of conventionally produced collections expanding their collections with digitally printed fabrics. The price is higher of course, [...]
Hi! I am new to the fabric world and I was looking for some good tips on what is the best sheer or gauze fabric. I keep seeing the term voile used and organza. I want something that is really sheer and with a great color print. Any ideas where I can get this or [...]
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 [...]
Here are two recent supercute one-off novelty prints from (arguably) the masters of one-off novelty prints, Timeless Treasures. Sushi and Picnic Time are in stores now.

The collections is called I Heart and prints will come on quilting weight cotton and some prints will also come on a linen-cotton blend. The fabrics should be in stores later this month. [...]
Hoodie, who was formerly with Blank Quilting, is now with Timeless Treasures, and she has not one but three collections debuting at Spring Quilt Market! Fruit a la Carte is the biggest, and the strawberry print will be available in laminated cotton. The other two are called All That Jazz and Alien Friends. Alien Friends [...]
{ Shipyard } Timeless Treasures has a few new GOTS-certified organic fabric collections, and I think the prints are just stellar (Shipyard, above, being my favorite, on account of the mother-of-boys thing). Here are some of the prints, shown with a coordinate … to see the entire collections just click on the images. Have you [...]
Rashida Coleman-Hale (of the blog I Heart Linen and the book I Love Patchwork) has unveiled her not-one-but-two debut collections for Timeless Treasures. They are called Flower Shop and Cutebots, each coming in a warm and cool colorway, and each featuring some prints on a cotton/linen blend. There will also be coordinating solids as well [...]
