Sister Parish was a interior designer and socialite famous in the 60s and on for her work on the Kennedy White House and for her take on the English country house look. I’m deducing that she was at least partially responsible for the quilt revival of the 70s. Today, her granddaughter Susan Bartlett Crater, and Parish’s onetime apprentice Libby Cameron, run Sister Parish Design. They designed a fabric and wallpaper collection featuring patterns that Ms. Parish loved and used in her work. The fabrics are screenprinted by hand in the U.S. and are sold

This is the Barcelona collection by Designers Guild. It’s printed on 53% wide, heavyweight 100% cotton. Each print is available in several colorways. See the site to get a better idea of the large scale. Available worldwide to the trade only (it looks like the London stores are retail, but someone correct me if I’m wrong).

Cloth Fabric is probably the first Australian hand-screenprinting fabric company to appear on my radar. I realized I hadn’t checked in for a while and it turns out they have several new prints and other product lines going on.

If you’re not familiar, Cloth is a small independent fabric company that has been operating out of Sydney, Australia since 1995. They screenprint their fabrics by hand “on a long table in a tin shed in the country” — sounds dreamy! Most of their fabric printing is done on a hemp

{ 1,2,3 }

German designer Graziela Preiser’s work was very popular in 1970s Germany (how great is this archival photo?). A few decades later, she teamed up with her daughter Nina to reissue some of her classic designs under the name byGraziela. The company offers bedding, crockery, towels, posters and wall hangings, bunting, bags, a kids’ book, and fabric by the meter. The fabrics are 1.4-1.7 meter wide (55″-66″), 100% cotton, and cost 21,90 €/meter (about $31).
