Preview: Elk Grove Knits from Birch Fabrics

17 Oct 2012 | Other RSS posts by

Birch Fabrics is introducing their first organic knits collection! Elk Grove Knits is expected in stores May 2013 and I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of it at Quilt Market (along with the companion quilting cotton and home dec collections). I already have a chevron T-shirt and some elk baby rompers formed in my mind.

It’s called “Stamped,” and it’s inspired by the handmade, block-printed look. There will be six prints in three different colorways for a total of 18 designs, printed on Kokka’s signature, versatile cotton/linen blend. It will be rolled out at

Blend Fabrics July 2012

14 May 2012 | Other RSS posts by

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.

Dear Stella: More New Collections!

11 May 2012 | Other RSS posts by

Dear Stella has a new round of beautiful fabric collections debuting next week at Quilt Market. But before I launch into them, you should know about their Quilt Market promotion: If you’re a buyer or a blogger/editor, stop by their booth for a hot pink Dear Stella tote, no purchase necessary. If you’re spotted with the tote on the Market floor by their roving representative, you’ll win a prize on the spot and be entered into a grand prize drawing!

Preview: The Ladies’ Stitching Club by Oliver + S

12 Mar 2012 | Other RSS posts by

Liesl of oliver + s recently treated us to a preview of their upcoming collection for Moda. It’s called The Ladies’ Stitching Club. It started as a group of sewing- and embroidery-themed prints, but Liesl said a story started to evolve about one woman’s a dream about a gorgeous blouse. The dream leads to sewing lessons from an elder, which grows into a sewing circle and full-fledged community of creative women.

The Ladies’ Stitching Club comes in three colorways: Tea Party (above), Garden Party (below), and Solarium (bottom).
