Alexander Henry will addresses some fabrically-underserved holidays in Spring 2012 with Love, Luck, and Liberty — Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and 4th of July, respectively. What does it say about me that the gray Valentine’s print below reminds me of Rear Window?
And that wraps up the AH offerings for Fall and Spring 2012. Which are your favorites?
Sandi Henderson‘s gorgeous and sprawling collection Secret Garden has been out for a little while now, but it’s gotten some new life with the addition of Michael Miller’s new solids collection, Cotton Couture, which has several colors drawn from Sandi’s palette.
Here are a few more collections coming from Moda. First off, we have Hello Luscious by Basic Grey. See the Moda site to take a look at the collection’s .pdf file — I love the main floral on the striped background, but you can’t see it very well in my shot. Hello Luscious will be out in February 2012.
This is California Girl from Fig Tree Quilts. Johanna Figueroa has combined a feedsack-y floral with several timeless coordinates. There
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 this post up into two parts. Here’s part I.
Monaluna: Anika (organic cotton)
Monaluna: Marin (organic cotton)
P & B Textiles: Toomuchery by Helen

Wow, I’ve put this off so long that the new releases have piled up big time! So this week, it’s NRT in two parts. Here’s part II.

Alexander Henry: Several new mini-collections, which we’ll
Westminster’s Spring/Summer 2011 catalog is online and available for download through Scribd. In it you can get close-up and personal with future collections including Amy Butler’s Organic Soul (and see which prints will be available on the voile, organic cotton, corduroy, and rayon challis), the new season of Kaffe Fassett Collective prints, Heather Bailey’s Garden District, Joel Dewberry’s Heirloom, Valori Wells’ Wrenly, Mark Cesarik’s Morning Tides, and a few others we didn’t get a close look at That’s in addition to all the recently
Robert Kaufman also had a large showing of organic fabrics at market, including a line of organic solids, Pure Organic, which they continue to expand.
The Little One collection by Katie Hennagir is also 100% organic and coordinates with the Pure Organic Solids.
Pick a Bunch by Nancy Mims (Mod Green Pod) is also 100% organic and coordinates with Kaufman’s organic solids.
FreeSpirit will be shipping Tina Givens‘ Pernilla’s Journey this July. It’s a combination of quilting weight cotton and linen cotton blend prints and takes its inspiration from one of Tina’s favorite childhood books about a young girl who lived in a place called Parrot Jungle. Check out the whole line here (there is a great image of fantastic Pernilla riding an elephant).
Daisy Janie‘s Shades of Grey is now making its way to stores! Like her first major organic collection, Geo Grand, Shades of Grey is a fabulous, versatile group. Betsy of Bon Bon Atelier pointed out that DJ fabrics are a favorite of customers seeking fabric for men’s projects (or things like bedding that have to appeal to both a guy and a gal). Agreed! And, of course, the biggest hook — it’s all grays, so the prints will play fabulously amongst themselves or with any
Woohoo! The previews are starting to come out in force in advance of Spring Quilt Market. Here’s a sneak peek at Helen Dardik‘s second collection for P&B, Toomuchery. I’m going nuts over here, this is so perfect. A panel print! Butterflies! Crazy Helen florals unleashed! Color color color! And it comes out on merely a month — glad we don’t have to wait too long.
