HIPPIE BIRDIE/HOLLY BIRDIE

Some of you know that we have a new design team, Woolin Rouge.... I love their tag line: "A Cabaret of Folk Art Designs So Simple Anyone Can-Can do them! Anyway, their first design, Star Light, Snow Bright has been a huge hit! We sell out of them at every show!

We are awaiting a wool order so that we can put fabric kits together. BUT, we have had many requests for a non-wool kit, so we have put a batik kit together, and it is really cute!

The next offering from Woolin Rouge was Hippie Birdie, a tablerunner/placemat/napkin ring pattern made up of cottons and wools.

At Quilt Market these designs attracted the eye of Marianne Byrne-Goarin, an amazing French designer, whose book, Cinnamon Inspirations, is full of wonderful wool felt designs. She invited Woolin Rouge to design for her magazine, and the result is Holly Birdie:








Next up will be a fall version with Chickadees! I can't wait!!

STAR LIGHT, SNOW BRIGHT

BBCC is entering uncharted (for us, that is...) waters. We're so excited about the NEW WOOL patterns being developed by Traci Suzanne Marvel, Sylvia Gauthier, and Jane Anderson. If you know Traci, you know that she is an amazing whimsical, folk artist. She paints and also has notebooks filled with sketches. Sylvia and Jane are going to interpret some of those designs in wool, and we are going to offer the patterns!
