P&B Textiles has lots of trend-conscious collections bursting with personality and soul coming out this coming winter and spring:
Out of This World is the next collection from illustrator Jill McDonald. It’s a delightful collection centered around two big, fun panel prints.

I’m looking forward to seeing what Blend Fabrics has to offer for its sophomore effort. By the looks of these two collections, set to be in stores in July, it’s going to be great. Hope Chest is by Josephine Kimberling, and features her always fashion-forward florals (including a cross stitch floral), this time paired with this creative take on the stripe, amongst other beautiful, lush coordinates.

Here’s another fun fabric design contest, and I want a True Up reader to win! Spoonflower and Robert Kaufman Fabrics have teamed up for Fabric 8. They’re looking to glorify eight of the world’s best amateur textile designers, and one of those eight will go on to receive $1000, a design contract with Robert Kaufman Fabrics, a professional-quality Wacom digital drawing tablet, and $250 in custom fabric printed by Spoonflower.
I love the theme of the contest: pen and ink + watercolor. They’ve got a Pinterest
Canadian artist/designer Vivian Ducas, aka C’est La Viv, has met with some wonderful successes in the past year — one of her designs was included dailycandy.com’s trends for 2012 and featured on the Today Show! She has added several beautiful collections and individual prints to Spoonflower since I last checked in — Zig Zag combines her signature watercolor look with the ultra popular chevron motif. They look so gorgeous all on the page together.

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, lush, and modern collection is available in stores now.
