International Quilt Market...read all about it

Yeah, it's here.  I love all things cosmic but this is one of my favourite space themed designs.  it's the combination of serious math around the orbit calculations, and the Jetson's spacecraft gliding in between.  Space humour.  

New in store from Riley Blake.

I have to write about this fantastic fabric.  It's hard to find great designs for boys that avoid the cliches, my favourite 10 year old boy has good taste.  I love the Zombies, and especially love the Zombie boxers.  The next on my list was this fishy winner.  The colours and simple design are great, but the underbite is the best part.

Wouldn't they be great as pajamas, a duvet cover, or as the main event in a patchwork quilt?  Go on...take the plunge. 

Foxfield from Tula Pink arrived this week.  This is a designer who uses the natural world for her starting point.  She always features living things but her colour choices, graphics, and the interplay of hyper detail with simple ideas make her collections stand out.  She is an original.

The beautiful Merchant & Mills Dress Shirt pattern in tissue format is one of my favourite things.  I learned about Merchant & Mills from a creative friend in the UK.  They are an independant company situated in Staunton-on-Wye, and although they've only been in business since 2010, their clothing patterns have spread quickly in North America through Pinterest and word of mouth.

Mormor is here.  Check it out.  It has finally arrived.  A great selection of her classic loose graphic prints in beautiful shades. I would like to completely change my sofa arrangement now and maybe get cracking on some summer clothes.  

This cheeky little guy is from a collection called Pepe in Paris.  Doesn't it make you want to sit in an atelier under the eaves with a north facing window, paint brush in one hand, bowl of cafe au lait in the other?  I don't even drink coffee.

These guys make me so happy.  I love how bright the colours are and the mirrored image of these handsome zebras.  There are other beautiful fabrics in this collection.  They are all strong on their own but it's a vibrant group to mix and play with together.
