In the shop: New Cloud9 Fabrics

We’re so happy to have been in collaboration with Cloud9 Fabrics once again, with our third fabric collection, called Around The Block, now available in our shop on Bree Street, and online too!

This range came out of some of the block printing I’ve been doing in my studio on Making Friday, over the past couple of years.

Isn’t it wonderful that spending a fun day in the studio printing this piece of fabric above…

…eventually results in yards and yards of organic quilting cotton and canvas being printed in multiple colourways, and then made available across the globe? I love my job.

This print – the mainstay of the collection – is called Block Blooms, and is available in quilters cotton as well as on cotton canvas for more sturdy projects, like the bag made by Cloud9 Fabrics below:

Aside from Block Blooms, there are three other prints in the collection, called Flower Bed, Pocket Patch and Cross Stitch, and here they are all together.

My original print for the Flower Bed design started with a long stem (below), and then ended up in a diagonal, which you can see in the navy colourway below this pic, and which is also available in red and yellow:

See the full Around the Block collection over at the Cloud9 Fabrics website, come visit our shop at 201 Bree Street to see them for yourself, and you can buy fat quarters online too.

PS: Don’t you love the Around The Block quilt, designed by Michelle Engel Bensko? You can make yourself using this free download from the Cloud9 Fabrics site. All you need is to get your hands on these yummy organic quilters cottons, which we sell in fat quarter quantities, as well as in yardage.
