Preview: Nature Walk by Cloud9 Fabrics

Nature Walk by Michelle Engel Bencsko for Cloud9 Fabrics. This beautiful, nature-inspired collection is expected to arrive the shop in mid-January 2011.

Also, this collection is being sold at a lower price point, $11.95/yard. The explanation about the difference between this collection (and others to come) and the "premium" collections (more of those to come too) are best explained by Cloud9 themselves:

Our new base cloth is still 100% certified organic cotton and printed with low impact dyes. We chose to do a more typical (yet still high-end) "squares" which is generally preferred by quilters for its even warp and weft shrinkage and for ease in long arm quilting. We will continue what we now refer to as our "Premium" fabrication of our previous collections, but we're certain that most of you will value the savings of this new base cloth.

Inspiration: Pure Green Living

Have you checked out Pure Green Living magazine yet? It's an online magazine dedicated to living green without sacrificing style. (Similar, I believe, to how many of us feel about organic fabric, no?) The pages are filled with inspiring interiors and photo shoots, as well as tips, information and recipes. Oh, and an extensive interview with one of our favorite designers: Jan DiCintio (aka Daisy Janie).
