If you have been afraid that Modern Flora was the only fabric I would ever sell or talk about again, relax. Though it is near and dear to my heart, we will continue to carry other designers and we've got some tremendous fabrics coming on the horizon.
That crazy chick, Anna Maria Horner, has her home dec line, Drawing Room coming out in March. It will be a 54" wide cotton sateen and is coming in two palettes, Eccentric and Nostalgic. Anna Maria's art is incredible and her color choices in this line are just cool. I have a feeling if you put these fabrics in your home, it would be like getting a little dose of Anna Maria energy every day.
Another fabric designer you might have heard of, Amy Butler, has her new line Midwest Modern, coming in March or April. This line is a 45" wide, quilting weight collection and features some traditional Amy Butler florals, but some edgy graphics as well. And in great colorways, as usual.
Anna Griffin is coming out with her line Sierra in the next couple of months. Her fabric continues to intrigue me. Though her "signature" look is beautiful, it's a little too traditional and soft for me. But then she comes up with some really interesting designs like this. When I saw the samples, the beiges and browns have a real kraft paper look to them, so I'll be interested to see the real fabric.
Rosemarie Lavin has designed a new line for Windham Fabrics, Rhapsody, available mid-March. I know nothing about the designer, but I was drawn to the fabric because of it's rich colors and graphic twist. It looks to me like it was inspired by the Pennsylvania Dutch motifs, but I like the modern take she took on it.
Okay, so that is your preview of what is coming up. In the meantime, I will continue to do some more Modern Flora projects.
YAY! I want to be first in line to order the new Drawing Room fabric
and it will be delightful to get it here, from you.
The ribbons I ordered at Christmas were incredibly gorgeous...
Thank You!

Wow! Love how that chair turned out. I'm so glad I found your blog. You are inspiring me to try upholstery. Great job.

A college fund? What an interesting idea....

Hi there,
I am trying to find a fabric that was included as a swatch in the fabric offcuts that I bought from you about 1 month ago. I do not know who the designer is, however the colours were a mix of aqua blue, brown, greens, and white and featured among other things, a bird (blue) a word - hard to tell, but possibly something ending in "utterby", peace symbols and an edging of an aqua blue leaf pattern. Do you know if you still have this or if not, who you think the designer might be?
Thanks

When does this fabric arrive? I love love the Drawing Room Prints! I need to see more of the lower left one...the orange & turq might be good for my sister's nursey room (ie pillow or something).
Thanks
