New Fabric In Store: Morris & Company

Morris & Company by Barbara Brackman for Moda Fabrics has finally arrived in the store at Berrima Patchwork

We have the entire collection in store and hope to have all the precuts available next week. This stunning collection has 40 different pieces which includes eight prints in a variety of colorways. 

Moda has written about the collection "This latest collection of William Morris reproductions by Barbara Brackman is named for "the firm", as Morris and his friends called their design workshop. Morris & Company included the designers, dyers, printers and weavers who followed Morris's ideals and continued them into the twentieth century. Morris & Company was in business from 1875 to 1940.

This collection highlights William Morris’s skills at translating nature into pattern. From Eyebright, a tiny alpine bloom, to the showy Anemone, the florals reveal Morris’s close observation of his garden. Brother Rabbit features visitors with whom he shared the garden---birds and rabbits. The large print Wandle is named “to honor our helpful stream,” the river that flowed near the dyeworks, providing water for the coloring processes as well as a lovely landscape. Subtle colors echo the shades of the natural dyes so important to Morris’s vision. Morris & Company will inspire all who love the Arts and Crafts look for quilts, clothing and decorating."

Michele Hill's New Fabric Range - Morris Meadows

Michele Hill has a brand new collection of fabric with In The Beginning Fabrics which has been launched here at The International Spring Quilt Market in Salt Lake City. It is called Morris Meadows and looks great. There are three different colour ways (I really love the blue range). Michele has also created two different block of the month programs to go with this range. The fabric hasn't been printed so it is all on paper. The quilt in the background which is one of the block of the months is printed on paper - you couldn't tell unless you look closely. Congrats Michele on another great collection. I believe it is due out October/November but will need to confirm that.

Here are some photos of the new collection

And you just never know who you will run into when you are at the show.

On the right is Jason Yenter from In The Beginning Fabrics (he is the owner of this business and also a fabric designer) On the left is Tim (I think it's Tim or is it Jim - Michele let me know) he is the one of the owners of Lloyd Curzon Textiles - the Australian distributor of the Michele's fabric. In the background is the "paper" version of Michele's new Block of the Month. It looks great but there are some very small pieces - lots of cutting and sewing!

Below is a special present for Michele (I'm sure she doesn't mind me sharing it with you all) from Jason (Thank-you Jason for helping out)

Warning I am new to creating videos (yes I know in future you don't turn the camera on the side) Just turn your head and you can watch it!
