Shop Talk Friday – Denyse Schmidt + Erin McMorris

I composed a post every day this week. Unfortunately not a single one made it from brain to keyboard. Overcommitment on my part fueled the fire. I ALWAYS imagine I can accomplish a task more quickly than is in fact humanly possible. And goodness, for creative endeavors there’s always that last minute design crisis. I’ve convinced myself I learned a lesson this go around :)

OK, the shop. Look what arrived this week. Gosh they’re beautiful. The color name is Roseberry, a wonderfully accurate description. The Denyse Schmidt County Fair fabrics are home decor weight cotton canvas, 55″/56″ wide. The canvas is extremely unique. Very silky to the touch with a tight weave but still characteristically canvas with a nice heft. I took the photo the way I did to show the lovely drape.

Erin McMorris’s Park Slope showed up for the party too. I like my deep saturated pinks and this collection delivers. The palette of pink, tangerine, tomato red, cerise, plum, chocolate brown and muted yellows is a fabulous scale. Small enough to work for quilts and small projects like zippered pouches but large enough to work on an apron or bag lining. A fine modern garden indeed.

Anna Maria Horner’s Sketchbook Ivory is back in stock (I personally can not get enough of those beautiful birds!). Available as yardage and in Stack Packs.

And a sale! Robyn Pandolph Flirt is 10% off.

Have a fabulous weekend, see you on Monday, I promise!

    Beautiful stuff! I really like the Park Slope Poppy Dot Floral :-) But, yikes, that means the 60s folklore thing is really back, doesn’t it?

    Yes, the fabrics are lovely, but can we talk about how you photographed them? Your porch is perfect for the Denyse Schmidt collection!! Looks like a page from Country Living magazine. Well done!

    I love the Park Slope fabrics! I just made a dress for my daughter with the navy colorway. It’s adorable and hip and mod and feels great to the touch. I love it!

    Oh I got so excited when I saw your post! I’ve been eagerly awaiting the Denyse Schmidt line. I just went to your shop, and maybe it’s already sold out, but are you carrying that cheater quilt fabric of hers? Please, please, please!
