All these are currently available through her Etsy shop.

Flowering Gum, above, “features Bruce [Slorach]’s illustrated honeyeater birds feasting on the nectar of a feathered flowering gum nut.

Jan DiCintio, the creative and entrepreneurial force behind Daisy Janie, presented three — count ‘em three — lines this market! She has been busy with her new creations: New Leaf, Little Jack and Daisies ‘n Such. All of Jan’s designs are printed on 100% GOTS-certified organic fabrics. I must say that New Leaf’s oranges, purples, pinks, fuchsias and yellows are the most vibrant colors I’ve seen on organic fabric! Jan cleverly highlighted New Leaf’s retro vibe
Leeann Fanny offers her hand screen printed fabrics on Etsy through her shop Little House Martin. She lives and works in Suffolk, U.K., also home to Ms. Lu Summers, through whom I learned of her! The fabrics are printed by the panel, on natural quilting weight cotton. Keep up with her on her blog here.

Anna Ka Bazaar in France has a new collection of fabrics in purples and navy. These are easy, trendy/classic prints on lightweight cotton that would work for kids or adults’ garments, bedding, accessories, and crafts. Worldwide shipping is available, and be sure to sign up for their newsletter for info on their frequent sales. They have a loyalty program too.
Dutch label Tas-ka has a new collection of fabrics and textile products called Schemer, Lommer, Dageraad, inspired by “the elusiveness of what happens in the early morning and evening, with the clear colours of the rising and setting sun and the darkness of the night.” The six prints are each printed on a 4 oz/sq yard (140 g/meter) cotton and a 6oz/sq yard (210 g/meter) cotton for different applications. They are now available in the Tas-ka web shop and it does look like they ship internationally.
The Ben the Illustrator Collection is actually a joint production of husband-and-wife team Ben and Fiona O’Brien. They offer fabrics digitally printed in the U.K., plus cushions and lampshades made from them. There are 12 prints available, printed on Cotton Half Panama (a type I’ve never heard of, and it’s not in my Dan River Dictionary of Textiles Terms either! Someone enlighten us!) I do know it’s 309 grams/sq meter (about 9oz/sq yard) and 147cm (57 inches) wide and suitable for soft furnishings, cushions, curtains, and upholstery.
Daisy Janie is back, baby! Her new collection is called New Leaf, and it’s got a fresh bright boho vibe. It will be printed on premium 100% GOTS-Certified organic quilting weight cotton, at a new lower MSRP of $13.50/yard, with an expected Winter 2012 delivery.
