Hard to believe, I'm sure, since I tell you everything I know and beyond, but...
Jessica Jones, aka "rock star", has expanded on her Fireworks and Calliope designs and created a 12 piece collection (four designs, three colorways) for Braemore Fabrics. So now there is even more Jessica Jones goodness to go around and go around it will! Braemore is one of the largest home decor manufacturers in the U.S., so you should see this fabric hitting lots of local stores. And of course, jcaroline creative! will carry it as well. In fact, we are accepting preorders now- should be in our hands in the next two to three weeks.
For those of you that purchased Fireworks and Calliope and the previous designs wholesale through Michael Miller Fabrics, they will continue to have those available until early May. Some of the earlier collections may not be re-printed at this time, so stock up! In May, I'll work up a strategy for those shops that are not Braemore customers that want to carry her collections.
First, let me say how proud I am of Jessica, because I've always thought her designs rock and it is awesome to see that other people do to! Secondly, a huge thank you to Michael and Kathy at Michael Miller Fabrics, who enthusiastically took a chance on fabric that didn't fit that well with their core products and gave it a try! Amusement Park and Sunflower & Stripes would never have happened without their help and I feel fairly confident this opportunity would not have presented itself either. From their fabric, I always suspected they were an innovative group and to my advantage, they are!
The picture above shows the "color plates" which is a really fancy name for an ink jet printout of the actual scale and color. The mill then uses the colors from these printouts to match the ink.
The fabric should be here in about two weeks and I promise you'll see pictures immediately. In the meantime, we are accepting preorders which will ship as soon as the fabric comes in!
Hooray for Jessica!

Min,
Sorry for the confusion- I updated the message on that page. The fabrics are not here yet- so your order won't be shipped right away. But if you order now, we'll make sure we ship as soon as the fabric comes in-- probably 2 weeks.

Okay, I may be crazy, but I think I saw a pillow made out of some Jessica Jones fabric on an episode of "Trust Me" on TNT tonight.....know anything about that??

I love love LOVE her fabric, and am crazy about this newest batch.
Here's my biggest request though: any chance we'll be seeing this in a soft cotton / quilt form?
I'm DYING to do some cute little dresses, skirts with a nice light weight fabric.
Anyone with me? I don't want to BEG....but I would really love it!! :)
(if begging would make it happen, however, I'd do it).
