http://www.lcurzon.com.au/ here in Adelaide to see if I would be interested in being involved in a range of fabrics - I am still pinching myself and still feel in awe of the journey that quilting has taken me. It is such an honour to be asked to do these things – and having never gone looking for it still leaves me bewildered.
So it is with great delight that I can officially let the quilting world know that Jason Yenter and I will be releasing a new range of fabrics!! Jason is well known from “In the Beginning Fabrics” http://www.inthebeginningfabrics.com/ in Seattle and it has been an honour and a privilege to work with him.
Jason tells me it will be premiering at the International Quilt Market in Minneapolis next month and the fabrics should be available in November/December later this year.
All I can tell you is it will be very William Morris like (of course!) – not reproductions though – all new designs. And how wonderful that it is to be called “The Adelaide Collection” ....our home!
Now we can't have a blog entry without some photos so here are some images of the wonderful participants at recent workshops at Berrima Patchwork - thanks girls and one special guy for making it all happen (Sorry that some of you are missing in the pics - we weren't fast enough!)

ReplyDelete"The Adelaide Collection" no better name.
How exciting and Congratulations!!! I'll be watching for it in my local fabric stores.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Michele! 'In the Beginnings' lists one shop in the UK. They'll have a stand at FoQ in Birmingham in August. I'm definitely going to seek them out and ask them about 'The Adelaide Collection'!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the fabrics Michelle! congratulations. I'll be traveling through Adelaide twice next month and printed out the info about Carrick House you sent me. Whether I will have any time away from work remains to be seen. I hope so!

How exciting! You know, I use to LOVE In The Beginning Fabrics when they first came out. Still use their toiles, will be SO NICE to have them again... Can't wait! I'm just not much for the modern twist they put on their fabrics, so hopefully I'll be buying more of theirs very soon! THank you! XO
